I started a thread in General Chess Discussion and asked, " How can you tell if someone is using a computer" and the thread was locked after three posts one of which said"You can't. Just report it and let the experts deal with it".

If I can't how can they?

.. and ..

Why lock the thread? Doesn't chess.com like anyone asking pertinent questions?

Discussions of cheating are not allowed in the general forums so most of that type of topic get locked.

Take a read through the following on how to handle the issue.

It's in my reading list now. Do you have one for chat etiquette here too?

I use the app only so the site info is not normally available to me.

Well, there is the general site TOS rules and many of the forum posting rules that cover chat too. This is a condensed list that should cover most things.
