First question,
1.Why OP play against 200 rated guy, rather then playing 1000 rated guy with his level,
Probably OP wanna do noob bashing and unexpectedly see sandbagger?? (all are assumptions, no proof)
Ok, let me try and explain this to you the easy way .. maybe you get it ...
When you open a challenge on chess.com, it lingers for maybe 5 seconds before they assign a equally rated player to you ... in those 5 seconds, anybody can accept your challenge from the open challenges section .. could be a 2500 player, could be a 200 player ..

Come on people ! work with me here lol ...
With the settings you can choose a narrower range of rating, that's all !
There is no option that you can check that says "Do not accept challenges from people who are rated 200 but in reality they are 2000+ wink wink" ..
As I said multiple times already, I don't mind getting challenges from anybody whatever their rating is .. But if the guy is 2000+, I need to see that, and make a decision whether to play or abort the game, that's my right !
What I mind, is getting my challenge accepted from a 400 guy, and I say, ok let's have fun .. all of a sudden the guy takes all my pieces and my ratings before I even blink lol
Vote 1 or 2!! (reason behind 2300 guy smurfing as 200 guy)
1. he just would like to make fun with people
2. he would like to give lesson to people who do noob bashing and fun with lower rated players!

I guess the problem is there's really nothing in the rules, of chess or this website, that says you can't do this. It's technically not cheating. Sure, it's deceptive, it's bad sportsmanship, it's just plain not nice. But I think players are allowed to do this. You can throw a game. Or two, or three, or a whole bunch.
Look, Vince Lauria threw his game against "Fast" Eddie Felson in The Color of Money. The White Sox threw games against the Cincinnati Reds in 1919. and Sonny Liston threw his fight against Ali in 1965. If someone wants to lose, it's tough to stop them.
The more disturbing aspect of this situation is the mindset of the player who engages in these shenanigans, and what may be driving the guy. Obviously, a 2300+ player will quite easily and consistently defeat players of the OP's level. So why isn't simply winning enough? Why go through these rather involved maneuvers just to win anyway, but do it with a lower rating? If it's to humiliate the opponent, to belittle them and inflate their own ego, that's pretty creepy. It's somehow reminiscent of those weirdos who liked to pull the wings off of flies when they were kids. and then grow up and eventually become the lead story on America's Most Wanted.........
I can't agree more ...
It's weird .. and when you are on the receiving end, 10 times per day, it's frustrating ..
How about this for a solution (I'm not asking much here) ..
Next to the players username, their current rating is displayed .. How about if you hover over that, it gives you just a little bit more information, for instance their peak rating.
That's it, that's all I'm asking .. at least I get the choice to abort and not waste anybody's time ..
Can the 5 year olds abstain from posting spam here and let the grown ups discuss the issues ?
Thank you
So this is why my opponents keep gobbling up my pieces without even trying to checkmate?!

Hover your mouse to his/their username and click on it. There is a negative sign in a circle. Click on that.
Really? I didn't know that, and what do you achieve by doing it?

It blocks them so they can't leave notes, on your profile, or send you messages. They can also not challenge you to games or accept your open challenges. Finally, they won't be automatically paired with you except perhaps in a tournament.

Here is the game, OP resigned by his own in obviously equal condition!
Mods should ban OP plz, if they wanna enforce OP's rules.
Hopefully by now you understand my point ..
But I also wanted to quote this, to say that I don't want people to get banned, I just want chess.com to do something about this .. for example to prohibit mass resignation that is intended to deliberately lower your rating .. or maybe make a rating floor as suggested by other people in this thread ...
Something else you seem to not get.
Deceiving people is my problem here ... meaning displaying a rating that is not really yours ... I don't care if a 2500 player plays a 200 player as long as they both want to do it ... alright ?
I agree and I would suggest that if someone loses 10 games in a roll, Chess.com should have a computer that weeds out games that someone resigned in or lost in less than 10 moves for example. Then they send them a warning for potential sandbagging. I think this would deter players that just want an easy win in a tournament for example.
Then says, "Online 1 hour ago"
2 months later.
Wow ... you are checking if I'm online 2 months later ? in a 2 months old topic ? You have no life do you lol ?
No you are not, you have raised a valid point, it is the people who are making fun of it that are acting like babies
