There are a lot of people who, when in a lost position, stop playing or wait until the game is almost timed out to make a move. This in the hopes of their opponent assuming the game is abandoned and leaving, thereby leaving the loser with a win. I think chess.com added a check to live games so that if a move is not played in some time (it might be 1/4 of the total game time, e.g. 7.5 minutes out of 30, but I forget the ratio), it triggers this warning. Maybe you were taking longer than that time per move at some points? I agree that when you really need time you should have it, but I think they had to do this to combat the twits who playfor a timeout like that.

You're right, but the ratio is 1/2.
Thanks for your input on this VULPES_VULPES!! I for real wasn't even thinking about it that way,i mean that my opponent might be thinking that i quit & then abort or resign so i'll be the winner.But now that you've took the time to exsplain it to me i can see how some folks would think that....LEARN SOMTHING NEW EVERYDAY & I LUV IT!!!!
My name on here since 2009 is KJSDAD.And now i want to say R.I.P.my Angel son K.J. Dad misses &Loves you very much!!Anyway I've read all the rules!! I'm playing by the rules but keep getting this message after the last 6 games.... (You must wait 5 minutes between games. Your play is restricted because you have not followed our Fair Play Policy which discourages stalling, abandoning games or intentional aborting. This restriction will be lifted automatically after you play more games fairly.) IT'S JUST NOY RIGHT,WHEN I'M GOING BY THE BOOK AND STILL GET THIS MESSAGE!!
Think it's just a warning.
When i loggeg on to Chess.com tonight this was posted on the chat room.I'm wondering if i did somthing wrong or is it a standard notice that they post from time to time.I mean that i really don't know what it means by making people wait to long,cause i always play the 30min. games & never say anything out of line.As a matter of fact about all i ever say is GOOD GAME!!!! Anyway here is what they posted....
Your account may be restricted if you do not follow our Fair Play Policy. If restricted, you will only be able to play with friends. Please do not intentionally abort/disconnect from games or make your opponents wait unnecessarily. Thank you for keeping Chess.com a fun place to enjoy chess!
