If @Itude is not certain why he was banned, he can contact support.
However, that information will not be given to anyone else. The reason for his ban is a private matter between him and chess.com. Chess.com will not share information about your account with other people - even if they decide you need banned.
If he chooses to share his side of the story on social media or elsewhere, he's welcome to do so. But chess.com will not respond to confirm or deny whatever he may say.
hey, captain obvious, did you read the op?

Do we really need transparency in this particular case?
I (more than) half expect Itude is enjoying this. He gets to play the martyr, and even if half of him isn't playing, and he is hurt, he gains a cause to entertain himself... in fact I think this outcome is positive enough for him that he probably practically dared them to do it... so they did it. Ok. He can end it immediately. 6 month bans have always been a joke. All they want is an email.

50 % correct,it has actually become enjoyable.
But as ever you are not addressing the genuine concern here.
Simple question ,do you think it is right that chess.com can mute peeps, and then take so long deciding about their appeal ,that even when they come back and say " oh dear we got that one wrong"..the mute has already been served ?
And to boot offer no compensation in terms of extra days to put that right ?
Yes that has happened to me and I have the email to prove it...don't suppose you read that eh ?
Aren't you conveniently changing the subject? The incorrect mute has nothing to do with the most recent mute right?
In any case, you have to think in terms of intentions and motivations. Chess.com's motivation is to make money... so it's not their intention to mute people unfairly. There's a relatively small staff dealing with a large website. Sometimes mistakes happen. By holding a grudge and by illogically assuming malice, you're the one being disruptive.
But of course you already knew that... you like to take liberties because you're bored and old age has lowered your patience.

Replying to deleted post:
---
An automated system is fair in the sense that it applies the same rules to everyone.
But no matter the policy, when it's applied broadly and to a large group, there are some unfair consequences... which are tolerated by sensible people who recognize that this is the inevitable cost of having a few imperfect humans organizing a large and complex group. You can find instances of this literally wherever rules and large groups coexist.
I'm not saying chess.com is perfect, I've been muted by the auto bot too. I've also been muted by mods... I've also complained about how the forums are run. I'm not saying chess.com perfect, I'm saying the extent to which you take you grievances... the way you justify your childish behavior, is ridiculous.
You were muted, ok, so send them an e-mail. Escalating things doesn't help, and the minor inconvenience you suffer is, again, an unavoidable (and therefore justified) cost of organizing any large group.
As for ageist hits below the belt, yeah, I'll do that, and I'm not ashamed to do that... so don't cry to me about it

I still want @sirmigraine to tell me why he's telling me it's Itude when I was clearly talking to him as if he were Itude.

this instance with iturd is just an example. rjc's post #51 is, unfortunately, accurate.
IF cc were transparent about why people are muted or banned, people like itude do not get to play martyr. and if cc makes a mistake, they should just own up to it.
Itude certainly has a way of upsetting some folk here but its difficult to understand how he has received a mute of 6 months.
He has never , as far as Im aware used bad language, been racist, been critical of certain sections of society , unlike many folk Ive seen over the years who are still here and active.
If he has broken some site rules that deserve ' punishment' then so be it, but things have certainly been handled badly at some level here for this situation to arise.
Ive also seen plenty of abuse for him from folk who as far as I can see have never had any dealings or contact with him before, but now emerge from wherever to throw their stones. ( Dont mean you Al.)
p.s. Ive been here for a while now, and dont know 'Bunny' .
