Now that's alarming. Makes me think of all the bad drivers and unhelpful coworkers I've met. It's important to understand the distinction between the letter and the spirit of the law to actually follow the rules, and especially to enforce these rules on others. Which brings us to #7

That whole citation from the ToS comes from the list of examples of Fair Play Violations, also referred to in the ToS as "poor fair play" and "bad sportsmanship". As such, it's not even relevant to the original question. Changing your online persona after 2 years of playing chess is hardly an "excessive" activity, but more importantly, it doesn't concern "sportsmanship", good or bad, in any shape or form.
I guess you could make an argument about "Abuse of the website's infrastructure or resources", but this is rather far-fetched in this case too.
