Question?????

Shocking.

This isn’t about fair play but freedom of speech.

Fair play is cheating. The site has closed your account because they think you cheated. Used a chess engine in your moves. Or some other way. Eg sandbagging. Multiple accounts.

No one even needs to report you for Fair Play Violations. They have systems which pick out suspicious accounts.

Fight it and prove them wrong.

That's not encouraging at all!!! I was hoping this would get cleared up quickly!!!

Not your fault!!! Truth is what it is!!!

It must be because your an Indian player

There just too good at chess people use the flag to troll now

New accounts don't get access to previous things like league levels.

I dunno, but if they blocked you changing your avatar, maybe that's the problem.

I've just looked at the chess.com rules for avatars and it says they aren't supposed to contain political or religious references.

"I support Israel" isn't really a political reference in a proper sense because it supports a country rather than a political party, but I suppose it could be interpreted as one.

Of course, the issue is they don't advertise these rules terribly heavily. I didn't know they existed until I looked them up.

Other things banned that are often in avatars people might be going against without realising it:

-Gore and blood

-pictures of war criminals (of course, who is a war criminal is up to debate; you could put Tony Blair or Julius Ceaser in there depending on who you ask)

-pictures of criminal acts and substances (presumably including things like littering and cannabis leaf avatars)

-Hentai

-'strategically covered nudity'

-'unauthorised copyrighted material'

This is very similar to the truth🌿

It would be interesting to see examples of strategically hidden nudity😅🙈

I would assume it's either stuff like calender girls, or when interpreted more broadly things like very low-cut tops.

Actually, rereading the full sentence is far more broad than that:

"Strategically covered nudity, sheer or see-through clothing, lewd undergarments, or provocative poses (cartoons included.)"

So potentially a picture of Hancock from One Piece might break the policy for example.

Is Superman in tight leggings with briefs over them at risk?🤔

Well, that's not interpreted as provocative in-universe at least (Hancock is, that's how her devil fruit power works).

It happens. I almost got reported from people calling me a troll. No evidence, but I did post on OTF a lot, but still what does that have to do with a troll?
