Dear Good Players, 

Would share my experience and request your suggestion/opinion.

 

I was playing a game with [please do not name & shame users. More clarification will follow - mod]

 
At this stage he said F*** You & went off the game. I wanted to report the misconduct but what i say chess.com policy says first you should disable your chat.
 
i personally feel that this is not right, what chess.com want is that i should punish myself because someone was abusive. I don't understand the logic.   
 
Please do provide your genius views and opinion on this. 
 
Regards

Disabling chat in the on-going game is a quick way of preventing other player's misconduct from affecting you. A longer term solution is to go that players' profile and block that individual (use the gray icon which looks like "no entry" sign); this will prevent him from being able to interact with you again. If the abuse included extreme vulgarities, it can be reported at this link:

I hope this helps.

Sometimes when ur playing u just have a bad or weak connection and you get disconnected. It to happened me several times, how can this be differentiated from someone just disconnecting from a game that they are losing.  I don't want my account restricted because of a technical error

Occasional disconnects are not going to be problem. The policy is based on a percentage of your games. I don't know the actual threshold but if the majority of your games complete without issue, you should be fine.
