everyone is so paranoid of cheaters on chess.com xD
that can't be fun to be paranoid all the time. just play OTB!
I don't think you should let cheaters ruin your online experience. Just play online, and if you suspect someone of cheating, report them. Don't just quit altogether.
i don't think online games should be for serious chess improvement. i just use it for wasting time when i'm bored.
OTB chess is more fun and helps you improve more.

This community is awesome , nothing but kind and helpful remarks .
It took me a little time only because I practised chess watched chess video lesson from YouTube and played otb games on chess club and after a few time I got information about chess.com later so I improved first and then only played online
for rapid it took like 3 months of serious play maybe a bit less but I keep bouncing above and below 1k
Hey, what's the avg elo
On chess.com the average rating is different than on other sites. I was at the 50th percentile when I was 660 here. On gameknot.com I was at the 50th percentile when I passed 1550 (which is classical average).
1900 FIDE is the average rating so about 2300 chess.com should be the average rating of somebody who plays OTB chess.

rage bait
Finally, after a year since I started chess, I reached an elo of 1000 in Rapid. I do nt care about Blitz and Bulet as I can work on them later.
Congrats!
What is my ELO RATING?
For a chess veteran like you, it's quite shameful to write it as "ELO". You shouldn't write it in all caps, because it's not an acronym. It's named after the inventor.
