Site says nothing about this and almost all games allow you to do this.

Forcing lag in your connection is only going to hurt the player doing it in the long run. The site only allows a maximum amount of lag over a series of moves. Anything over that counts against the player's clock.

how come you closed my thread when fair play policy says nothing about this.

ping manipulation has nothing to do with getting moves or getting help. in fact it is silly that chess.com has built in ping compensation and clearly many people on this site abuse this as evidenced by the numerous clock manipulation complaints that happen on forums daily. also clearly 0 bans have been given out for this.

Trying to manipulate the clock on purpose, to gain additional thinking time, would fall under fair play even if not expressly called out
