If you have reported your opponent and their account hasn't been closed, then either
- Staff haven't seen the report
- There's not sufficient evidence of unfair play
- There's no evidence of unfair play
It should be noted the site does not use the Accuracy scores as a method of detection as they are dependent on multiple things.

My 15+10 rapid opponent was hassling me in chat trying to get me to move after a 2min think when he boxed me immediately into a corner with perfect play (even the good moves turn into best if you let the engine think for a while).
That kinda ticked me off so I looked at his history (most of his games weren’t reviewed until I did it.)
I pointed it out to my opponent that high 90s accuracy for a dozen straight games was going to get them banned, and their very next game they dropped down to ‘only’ high 80s before creeping right back to high 90s. 🤔
Reporting seems to have done nothing.
I assume there’s some basic automated fair play detection that would catch this.
Has it just not been long enough, or is this just “Welcome to Chess.com”?
