No it is not. He is not staff. It is still very rude even if chess.com does not have a specific rule it can come under harassment. Chess.com did not write into rules every possible thing you can or can not say to opponent. Chat can be disabled but that might happen after transgression. Common sense play out your game. Opponent has the right and two wrongs do not make a right.

Very true I'm not a staff member but we sure don't need one to answer this question. I must say I agree with you about it being a bit rude to ask another player to resign but I have seen much ruder things done here with out anything being done about it.
There is a difference between having a rule and being courteous in your games. If they did have that rule how in the world would they ever inforce it. Erik would have to put on another 20 staff members just to sift through all the complaints of rude members.
It isn't against the rules but also I would recommend not to do it. They are right in that someone playing out a lost position already knows it and is refusing to resign. If you ask them to resign they will most likely drag the game out for months in a 3 day game.
Agree to disagree. My take on it is that it is a matter of opinion as to whether or not asking someone, in a polite way, to resign is rude. Take into account the totality of the circumstances though. Look at the venue we are playing in and all the antics. I'm sure most of us have posted things that could be considered rude to certain people.
However, I feel very strongly that it should not be deemed harassment (if done politely and one time) anymore than asking a girl on a date outside of the workplace should be considered harassment.
The real question is whether or not it is allowed by the management at chess.com. Why should you care what other people think, besides the people who run the site?

Chicken speaking to TD is not opponent. You may also leave tournament room to talk to others but that is not what I was talking about. I was talking about conversation with opponent.
Right. How do you do it then? Don't you need to say something to the opponent to let him know that you have a dispute and are going to call the TD over? Or are you expected to use sign language lol?

@OP: This comment nails the answer to your question. While you would not break a rule by asking politely for a resignation, doing so would be considered so very monstrously rude that you should consider it unacceptable.

You might want to reread my question then, because that comment did not answer my my question. My question was whether it was against the rules, not whether someone might consider it to be rude. Do you see the difference?

http://www.chess.com/echess/game?id=103979176.my opponent asked me toresign.I could prolong it for one or two moves and hence another 6 days for him.First I said two more moves ,then I realised no use asking him to wait as I had no hope left in the game.the request was polite.and for that matter till now I have never encountered impolite behaviour with
any body while chatting on this site.

From what I've read on the subject, the sin of "not resigning" is not nearly as offensive as "asking opponent to resign". Just imagine either of these happening over the board!
I like to get about 10 knights they usually don't go long without resigning then
How do you actually create a forum thread, I have been looking around and cannot find how to do it.

The first time you ask your opponent to resign you reveal that you don't understand how to behave during a chess game
The second time, you show that you are just a rude asshole
Yes. Being rude is not tolerated on this site as we can see.
What happens the third time?
Again ask. It is possible you could get a warning from chess.com. Yes one might wish for the opponent to resign for sure, however one should keep quiet about it. Being annoyed over the opponent going against etiquette is not harrassment if one is quiet about it. It is not something you can complain about. Within opponents rights to play to checkmate. Asking someone to resign is rude in my humble opinion.
