Account Closed Symbol

Sort:
LookingAround

I've noticed that some players who have closed accounts have the little symbol next to their name, and some do not. Is there a way to differentiate between a player closing thier account and chess.com doing so?

A symbol next to them mean they have been banned for cheating.

kco

like this one ?...

Yes...And an account closed with no symbol means the player closed his own account?

kco

Yes that is correct and sometime the staff may close the member account for other reasons.

When member close their own account, their contents may remain here to be seen.

[Although a member may ask for their content to be hidden when they close it. Mod.]

As an addendum, titled players closed for cheating don't get the 'cheater' icon (this is a chess.com general policy).

It can also mean the account was closed by chess.com, but not for cheating (spamming, sandbagging, multiple accounts...)

A gray circle with an X in it means the player closed his own account.

A red circle with an X in it means a moderator closed the account.

I don’t know what a red circle with a / in it means.
