Funniest appeals of 2023, part 1: I didn't cheat. Except when I did.

i used hacks only in non rated and when i used it with rating …
…

i havent cheated, though i did use an engine for exactly 4 games, …
Well, then you have cheated.

Ive never cheated in the game well If i have to be honest I did once but only once i saw a video about it on youtube and did it
…

I am not 100% sure why the ban was given but knowing the fair play rules I assume it has to do with cheating. I admit to getting a few tips before from my older brother or maybe i have to take a peek back at the opening to make sure I am playing it right …
Narrator: It was more than the opening.

Funniest appeals of 2023, part 2: my dog cheated.

I share any account with a friend (which I assume isn't a violation of fair play rules and yes its a stupid idea) and …
It is a violation of the rules.

I was doing my home work and i gave my laptop to my 12 year old brother and he told me that he would like to play some chess on my laptop so i gave it to him and then hi download this extansion called chessmint whatever and when he got my acc locked and he told me that i was playing then this popped up my game stopped and i told him that were u using an engine or smthing and then i checked the extension on google i found out that he was using chess mint engine...
You seem at the same time pretty lax about your brother but incredibly knowledgeable about what he does!

i didnt cheat my brother played for me
That would still be a violation of the chess.com Terms of Service.
(And yes, you did cheat.)

My friend came over one day showing me these cheats for chess and saying that i cant get banned for them because they are undetectable. I told him im not gonna be using them because it ruins the fun and strategy the game takes (...)
You can imagine the rest of this story.

Funniest appeal of 2023, part 3: I didn't multi-account. Except on my alt.

I did nothing wrong i didnt cheat and this is my alt.
Alts without approval are against the chess.com Terms of Service.
(And yes, they did cheat. Both on their alt, their other alt, their other alt, and their main account.)

i dont know why i am banned i link the wrong account
You're supposed to play without cheats on all of your accounts.

i had more than 1 account which is against the rules. I would like to be unbanned/get acces to the chats again because i mean i never broke any other rule.
Breaking one rule is enough to get locked out from the server.

well yes i admitted i had 10 banned accounts, i do not think my past bans should be valid enough reason for me locked out of a discord server
Proposal: Only lock out after 11 banned accounts.

I believe my alt was locked for smurfing and multi-accounting, however, I simply lost the necessary amount of games to hit 100
That is smurfing. Using an alt is multi-accounting.

Funniest appeals of 2023, part 4: I did not know cheating was against the rules.

i was using a chess engine to see what the best moves for a gane were, i didn’t realize it would get me banned again tho, also you guys never make after game analysis free and make it a paid feature…
It's all chess.com's fault!

I should be unlocked cause I didnt know analysis boards was against the rules
It will even display a big red warning now if you're using it with the same account!

My chess account was banned and the reason could be either "sandbagging" (dropped elo on purpose) or "cheating". I admit I did drop elo on purpose and cheated. I've took a month where I was focused on upgrading my chess skills and I needed to see how high rated players (1,6k+++ elo, I did it on lichess too and was banned there as well) would react to engine moves in order to improve.
See [our FAQ](#1040028251965358121 message) on how to actually improve.
Spoilers: Seeing how people react to engine moves is not an effective training program.

Funniest appeals of 2023, part 5: Sorry not sorry!

Hello i am making an appeal, to apologize to abseloutley nobody …
This appeal was not successful.

if you don't put me inn the server you won't get invited to my birthday party and we won't be friends. Also I will tell me mom to delete your mom's contact info and block you from phone calls.

And finally, the weirdest appeal we got in 2023:

Hi can you tell me how can I become Server Mod.
The first step to becoming a Server Mod is following the rules yourself!

# half vessel World rapid and blitz?

Almost.
Except it's not a world event, but a little town in a German forest.
And it's neither rapid nor blitz, but classical.
But otherwise, it's the same tournament!
