I am trying to play a game but I get the message "Your account is currently flagged for potentially suspicious play. This may temporarily delay your game seeks."

 

What does this mean? There was no explanation to what "suspicious play" means. I don't cheat at all. I'm paying for the Premium membership. If I am going to be restricted I am closing my account and done with Chess.com and I will tell others to avoid it.

Why is that? I just contacted them.

nallets
They weren't serious
nallets
Your last game was by no means a perfect game...
loganmccoy

Ah. Well, I wasn't able to contact support earlier because I kept getting "An error has occurred. Try again later" after hitting the submit button. Finally worked though

loganmccoy

 Lol, right? really doesn't make sense.

nallets
I did notice that you played the same person five times in a row and won most of them, maybe they think you're double accounting?
loganmccoy

If being on a win streak is a crime I should have been flagged a long time ago, lol

Double accounting?

Means to have two accounts. The reason is that it was against the same person so maybe the igniter thought that you had both accounts and we're trying to unfairly get your rating up. Unlikely, and just speculation, but it's an idea.

 Saw one of his game vs me in my record. He didnt do any suspicious activities.

@star, That's ridiculous. Also, do you realize how much of a waste of time that would be? 

@hari, Will do, once they get back with me! 

@ iloves, Well, I've been accused of being an engine by really salty players, but the truth is if you look at my games they are all far from perfect. Also, not sure what game you're referring to w/Na3+

 

I honestly don't give a crap about rating, I just want to be able to play live chess.

I have seen similar forum posts. It could just be a bug but support should be able to help.

loganmccoy

Lol,

Seriously, they need to explain this stuff better. There shouldn't be any ambiguousness on restrictions, especially when you're paying for a service

loganmccoy

Oh great, now you tell me.

santiagomagno15

just try to contact support, they will fix it in a day or two

I got one too this morning. I'm so excited!   My very first time!

Once you cross the 2200 rating chess.com give a warning to every chess player, don't worry about it. I look at your game and there was nothing suspicious, your opponent just fell asleep and allow check mate. happy.png

I got that once too, it just goes away after a bit, after they realise ur not cheating.
