Does chess.com actually do anything about stalling?

so annoying. i stopped playing rapid beacuse of this
I play Rapid games almost exclusively and rarely encounter stallers. When I do, I just report and block them... not a major inconvenience.
But you joined chess.com just yesterday and have played all of one single Rapid game. What's up?
new account because i was using my work email for the previous one, what are u implying?

howdy, so almost whenever I play my Bad friend am I am about to win (unless the don't see the mate), they start stalling [one example [game link removed[], they always blame me for being to "annoying" and talking to much in chat, I report them every time they do this but it has done absoulty nothing (about 16 occurrences, my old account got closed for spam, so u cant see the old games), by the way, they Never do this to my other friend (and [name removed]never accepts draws with me, but always does with my other friend [name removed]),
do y'all have anything I could do to get [name removed]to stop? I know for a fact that this is against the fair sport policy and I report him a bunch for it but chess.com never does anything about it.
Please don't make accusations in the forum. You might be unaware of actions taken after your reports. -justbefair

I’ve been playing on chess.com for probably 20 years along with other chess sites and I can honestly say —-CHESS.COM IS FULL OF CHEATERS…..and there’s nothing they are going to do about it….
Well, yeah. Chess.com doesn’t care about dealing with cheaters because dealing with them means banning them. Banning them is bad for business because it means less people to see the ads. And chess.com sells ads to brands based on factors like number of active players. So, if they start banning cheaters, it’s actually very bad for their ad business. Now you now the why at least.

You are wrong. They banned close to 130,000 cheaters last month.
The site doesn't allow cheating discussions in the main forum. You have to join the Cheating Forum club.
