My Account is Restricted for Aborting a Game??

Sort:
HighestUnrated

Hi Chess.com,

Yesterday i aborted a game as my opponent wasn't making the first move. I got a message that my account may be restricted and i will only be paired against those who are 'not a good sport'

Since i am not getting paired for a 15 10 game. I don't think this is fair.

You can see i regularly play this this time control. Can you please remove this restriction so i can continue to play?

Thanks!

It's not a forever restriction, but you need to wait for the system to kick in if someone won't make the first move and let it abort the game for you.  It's only a wait of something like 20 or 30 seconds.  Anyway you can read all about it right here
