Got called a cheater and he said he's gonna report me. Should I be worried?

I don't want to get falsely banned for cheating. I don't even consider myself a good chess player.

If you're playing fairly you have nothing to worry about.

Any jerk can scream “cheater!” He can report you all he wants, but if you’re not cheating, don’t sweat it

So you’ve changed your username since playing that game?

It appears you have 2 accounts so that's against the chess.com terms unless you have their approval so you should probably be more worried about getting sanctioned for that rather than random cheating accusations.

8 hundreds of people have multiple accounts. I know a bunch of people that have 3 opened they can't catch you but I've seen her on the forums and probably just changed her name

I don't have multiple accounts. I changed my username

That's not the way it works.

If you really want, you can contact support saying you didn't cheat. You can also do that if you were banned unfairly.

They reported me for cheating, but I didn't cheat! Am I in trouble?

Do I Need to Worry if I am Reported for Cheating?

No! If you didn't cheat, you have nothing to worry about! Chess.com will never close an account for cheating based on reports alone. This means even if a super popular streamer gets all his followers to report you, if you didn't cheat, nothing will come of it.

 

So What is the Reporting System For?

The reporting system is designed to send a heads up to the Fair Play team that they may need to investigate the account. The reports themselves do not trigger a closure. If the Fair Play team sees a large number of reports, they will want to investigate the account right away. But if you didn't cheat, the Fair Play team will find nothing, and all the reports will be cleared!

 

Where Can I Learn More?

Don’t let people affect your fun of the game! You got this! Chess.com has great salt detectors I bet.

If your not cheating why even bother posting? Seems a odd question to ask at all if your not cheating. The cheat detection is good if the person isn't masking it through making one or two mistakes after a stock fish level performance of best moves through a entire game...
