Mods don't have the power to ban people. They can't unban people either.
When someone is banned, they are sent an email laying out their options for an appeal or a second chance account (if any). No one else can intercede on their behalf.

Play games on a new account, save the games that matter to you in .pgn format, and don't get too attached to your screen name. You can also change your screen name before closing it and reuse it later (but since I revealed that they may take measures to prevent that). Until then, you could come back with the same screen name if it really mattered. Don't let them be hypocrites.
You play games, they jack up your rating by 100s, and then when you go to fix their wrong they call it sandbagging. Well, that is what they are doing slower. They might give you 130 on your first win. Then you get 100, then you get 75, then you get 50, then you get 25, then 12, etc....
It works the same in conjunction with losing. They are hypocrites on here. Stand up for your rights, don't let them control your chess.com account. It is yours. As long as you are playing ethically and don't cheat, sandbag (meaning lowering ratings to GET SOMETHING like awards, prizes, money), or stall/abort excessively, you are doing the right thing.
You just refuse to understand that the main purpose of ratings is to help you find opponents you can play a good game with and have a fair chance of winning and losing.
When you start off here, your rating is very likely to be somewhat inaccurate because it is based on your own description of your strength before you have faced any real players. Based on the wins and losses in your first games, they try to get you quickly a lot closer to your real rating.
That's why you gain 100 points or more when you win and lose 100 points or more when you lose in the first few games. Every game brings you closer to your real rating, so the next adjustments are smaller-- maybe only 80 points or so. Up 100. Up 90. Down 80. Down 80. Up 70. And so on. Before you know it, the rating will be pretty close to accurate.
It works quite well if you let it go-- especially if your starting self-description is relatively realistic.
You opened another new account today, starting off with a 400 rating after describing yourself as a beginner. You won your first 6 games against a bunch of sub-1000 rated players.
Your rating is still very inaccurate.
How do we know? The RD is the measure of ratings inaccuracy. (It stands for Ratings Deviation. More at : https://www.chess.com/article/view/chess-ratings---how-they-work ) Yours is still 132- a very high level. It is high because you haven't lost any games yet.
https://api.chess.com/pub/player/queensgambinoslav/stats
When you get to the right rating area or maybe above it, you will start losing. That tells you that you are getting closer to your real rating. Your RD will fall. Get your RD down to below 30 and you will be in the right ratings area.

I refuse to accept a 455+ point spike is the appropriate way to evaluate players.
Here is another account where I won initial games.
https://www.chess.com/games/archive/historyrepeatingitself
977(+127? +177), 1099(+122), 1182(+83), 1255(+73), 1310(+55), 1253(-57)
455+ points
There is absolutely no need to do this. Do we need a Venn Diagram to illustrate this, or will YOU refuse to understand jacking up ones rating 455+ points is not the way to go?
Chess.com's Rating System
Better way to evaluate
of coarse it doesn't work if you just have played like 5 games or something. Play another 20 games, and your rating will be accurate.

Chess.com's system puts people in a larger pool because of the huge rating increase. Why give people points and then take them away? Again, if a user does it, they are accused of sandbagging.
who got accused of sandbagging? The only time they get accused and banned is when they are really sandbagging

Sandbagging is the ONLY contention I am addressing here. I don't stall in games, I resign in losing positions. In fact, that is the issue the site has with me, resigning too early. They are calling that sandbagging.

So guys, unfortunately our best friend, Maybe yours but not everybody's our helper helper of what? and a best member of the Chess.com community That's a matter of personal opinion honestly @aki has been banned today by the mods and staff of Chess.com Not necessarily, could've been a bot for probably cussing bad words or something. Probably mass reporting of legitimate stuff, not cussing. In fact I don't think you can get banned for cussing
My Opinion
I think Viroh has either done something and hacked @aki's account or, Viroh troubled her too much which made her say it. I don't think Viroh has anything to do with this As a part of the respective community, I would request Wind or any other moderators to please go through a full-scale investigation for any clues as , a kind helper like @aki would not do such a thing. Would not do what such a thing?
Without @aki in Chess.com many trolls will start coming uh whether or not aki is here has nothing to do with whether or not trolls keep coming, there will be no fun forums and blogs to discuss Um, very not true lol and the full community will be boring and undisciplined. What If @aki is gone many people will get hacked, maybe even me. This paragraph is so not true and I can't even believe why that would happen at all in the first place
So Chess.com, please bring @aki back as it will be good for both me, you and the whole community.
@Aki ban attacked my club for no reason, she's not a nice person at all
how and why would viroh hack her acc like what huh. I don't think Viroh has anything to do with aki getting banned...
also whether or not aki is banned has nothing to do with trolls coming here or whatever, aki herself is a troll and also has had many alt accounts since the posting of this forum (they've been banned since)

Aki was cussing at viroh, so then viroh mass reported her and stuff. He may have hacked Akis account, because he has gotten secret info about others, like KoB, and spuirtle.
So guys, unfortunately our best friend, our helper and a best member of the Chess.com community @aki has been banned today by the mods and staff of Chess.com for probably cussing bad words or something.
