Hi everybody

Is it possible to reactivated an account which was closed by the user himself? How?

Open a ticket to support.

If the password isn't remembered then you'll likely need access to the email used on the account.

If the account was closed, it's likely gone (not stored), & all data deleted. In that case you can just create a new one with same username (if available). If you want to recover/restore the account with data & settings, you need to send support email to chess.com to see if possible & available. Ask if they can recover/restore account with last data & settings (games history, ratings, friends, etc.). The user account does depend on the email account/address used to create, you may need to use the same email account to process, or at least provide the email address. Unless support will allow changing to another email account/address. Ask if they can, if you prefer using another email account/address with same chess.com account.

If a member closed their own account (rather than being banned for whatever reason), it should be possible to reopen it.  You may need to contact support.

Data from the old account will not have been deleted.  Even if someone is banned, it's usually hidden rather than deleted.

Thanks!  Glad someone verified this & knows certainly.  (I didn't know the actual practices, just the possible options to check.)  

chess.com saving user account data, even for deleted/removed accounts, so user account & data can be restored/recovered, is awesomely excellent!  Another example of what an excellent service they are overall.  

(Most services that have user accounts don't save user account data after account deletion.  Or they have a temporary time period before data deleted permanently.  So account data usually unrecoverable.  Always worth inquiry in case possible.)

is it possible to reactivate the account which has been closed by chess.com? pls, help me.

 

MGleason

If chess.com closed the account, you would need to contact support, and it would depend on why they closed the account.

If you closed an account, only support can help you reopen it. If the site closed it, the it depends on the reason. Some closure reasons are never reopened.

Contact support and discuss it with them.  Depending on the details of why it was closed, they may be willing to reopen it.
