Today, my account is blocked for no reason. I’ve never used any computers in the game and I’ve never abused anyone, so I’m kind of confused. Please, I need an explanation about what I’ve done at least.
What do you mean by blocked?
I can't play on-line.
What happens when you try? I see you played a game yesterday and some the day before.
I'm guessing this is a glitch. If you were actually blocked, you would not even be able to log in.
1. Have ever just stopped moving and let your time run out when in losing position, hoping that your opponents will quit?
2. When in a losing position, Do you sometimes just log off or close the app/website without resigning?
I can't play any live chess with komodo as well since today. No explanation. Till yesterday I was able to play, and even with a computer, all the games were rated and I never cheated... I'd rather lose. Now suddenly site says all the "komodo7", "komodo8" bots are all offline... this never happened to me before.
Maybe the Komodo bots are having issues and are offline until they're fixed

Why would that block you from playing live? Logging off/closing it will turn on an auto-resign function that lasts 20 seconds until the user comes back on. Waiting for the time to run out is kind of a mean thing but how does chess.com know you did this? I get your point and you may be right but there are doubts to it as well.

It is bad sportsmanship.
Chess.com will absolutely block you if you do it.
The reason the user lets his time run out or logs off is that he is hoping that by wasting his opponents time, he will get frustrated and quit so he then can claim the win. If this is not his intention then he surely would just press the resign button. But he doesn't, he would rather waste his opponents time in the hope of getting some undeserved rating points.
This practice is seen to be unethical the majority of the playing chess public.
you have to wait for a certain amount of time

The bots sometimes are taken offline for maintenance.
Though my understanding is that eventually they will be completely removed from live and only be in the vs Computer section.
