lol yeah it’s weird. I think if you gain a lot of rating it might happen, or maybe it happens if someone reported you

Can u still join arenas or tournaments? If you can, then you aren't flagged of cheating

That’s a good point.

vishnu_vijay_93  They do not want you to bother titled players. It's better that a titled player invite you to play, as it is just common courtesy to obey the site's rules.

Probably, you are now in bad sports, thats bad, you are a good sport, idk why this happened.

Yes, this can happen with what @g4 said but also if your opponents report you or GIVE YOU A DISLIKE AFTER the game. Also, I keep the chat disabled against random opponents.

Also just contact support, they can let you know if you are placed in Poor Sports.

The message is due to your switching to a new account. You have to have played some number of rated games, maybe it's 25, of that type of game before you can challenge a titled player. It happens on GM Ben Finegold's stream all the time, when he plays subscribers on Twitch. If they haven't played enough games yet on chess.com, they won't be able to challenge him. 

What are you saying, he has played 650+ rated games.
