Yahoo chess barred?

Question

It says I have been barred from yahoo! chess. I haven't done anything.

What I suspect is that the last guy I played thought I was cheating. My computer froze for a while, then after I moved (e4)my opponent ran away. Did he think I was cheating and he chose to report me? Is there anything I can do?

Answer 1

a person can not get you banned instantly,yahoo is slow about abuse reports.  for future games here is a way of cutting down on freezing in games.

Yahoo games use virtual memory to play. Running low or out of virtual memory causes game to freeze. Increasing your virtual memory helps with the freezing/getting booted  problem. You can increase your memory by going to start button, settings, control panel, system, advance tab, performance, advance tab, virtual memory, change it, make it 1000 kb or higher, In both boxes, click apply then ok .If it’s not listed as Kb,” Some are not.” Just double the number listed. (Needed for games like Chess or any long games)

Reason you got banned!

· IF banned this is my advice to you.. And I think it's working as I know many have called so far. Yahoo has to take action! You’re among hundreds so far to be unfairly banned. Sadly yahoo is very slow about fixing or responding to this anti-bot program glitch. Here is where you can report the problem. But so far they have not done much to help people you could email them but all you get is a bot generated less than help full reply!  This problem has been on going for at least 8 months!

Better yet call them! That will do more in the way of bringing attention to the problem!

The fastest way back in is by making a whole new account. And start over.

Then if ban is lifted you can go back to your old ID

Try the CC numbers! Do not push any auto response buttons, wait and a real person will answer! I hope this helps. Here are 2 of the latest comments to this answer;
