IM TIRED OF THE SANDBAGGING, THAT CHESS.COM WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT!!! Especially at the 1100-1200 elo level. Cant get any higher because there are so many players that when you review your games says that they played at 1400-1600 level during your game.
How to fix it:
Allow users to "block" certain countries... ex: Brazil and India where 90% of the sandbaggers are from (let them play each and waste each others time). Second, just like they allow you to select opponents elo, allow user to select number of games opponent has played, I dont want to play someone with 150 THOUSAND GAMES!!! Yes, this has happened. I'm ok with plus or minus 2k games that I have played, not 20 times the number of games. Does anyone think that someone with 150 THOUSAND games is really only rated 1100-1200?
Third, when the player has a rapid or bullet (I play mostly blitz) elo rating 200-400 pts above their blitz rating then I should be able to select to not play them. When you look at their profile and it shows that they beat their last 10 opponents in the 1100-1200 range all in less than 20 moves, something is obviously wrong!!!
Lastly, if they can do puzzles at 2100-2200 the they shouldnt be allow to play at 1100-1200 or allow me to choose not to play them.
im with on this one, i've been on this site with various accounts for close to 5 years now, and it is pretty much unbearable for the exact reasons you mentioned, in rapid 10/0 play you got 1000 rated players who blitz out moves in seconds and just simply beat you while having 8+ minutes remaining, playing incredible accuracy, same goes for blitz, low rated players blasting 1 to close no mistakes a game, few inaccuries etc, it wasnt like this a few years ago, but now it feels like everyones a GM no matter the rating
Its difficult to improve anymore chess.com. for example the hint button on puzzle page must be eleminated.

It would be great to see the ELO ranking of opponent that was current for the moment the game was played (as it is with daily chess) in the archive of games and not as it is today (as bullet, blitz, speed chess archive show).

RAPID RATINGS--- 10 minute, 15 minute pool, and 20 minute pool. CLASSICAL RATINGS--25 minute pool. 30 minute pool, and 45 minute pool.
One issue ive hated for over 10 years is how you cant select a piece to pre move when the opponent move is being shown. So in bullet chess. They use this to cheat and get away with it. Ive lost hundreds if not thousands of games due to this. Ive complained for years and nothings been done to fix this huge bug and cheating.

Interesting point @treatb59, you also use this feature, but not on a chessboard. Will @erik or others like MOD answer?
