If higher rated players were scared of losing points then they can filter lower rated players. Why they will waste their time in starting a game and then aborting.
Auto Aborters should lose rating points
Sort:
@ The-Great-Danton: There is a lower and higher range with these filters....you can't set it to only play higher rated players. What they do in starting a challenge is fish for only higher rated players.

Because in 10/0 Blitz, when I'm absolutely sure i'm playing a Cheat using engine performing at 3000, then find later their Bullet Rating is 800, I try not to give them the pleasure of unleashing a 15 move sacrificial mating combination (which has happened) worked out by their engine in seconds, so I abort, but still lose 15 Rating points. And I've lost to about 25 Cheats in 10/0. Do you know how many Rating points that has cost me ??? Not that I've aborted in all those games.
LOL...the seriousness with "online rating points" Yiou guys act like its a matter of life and death, and your life revolves around a number.
Suggestion to Admin at chess.com:
Higher rated players simply auto-abort their games against lower rated players to avoid the risk of losing their rating points. This kinda sucks if you are the lower rated player.
Solution: Penalise the auto-aborters with a loss of 10 rating points. You don't have to give these points to the lower rated player, just punish the auto-aborters.
