The perception of cheating levels is orders of magnitude more than the actual amount. The vast majority of games and players are clean

The site closed more than 100,000 accounts in January for fair play violations and has a full team of staff working on reports along with some automated systems for detection.

That said, discussions of cheating, potential cheating, or cheat detection are not allowed in the general forums. If you want to discuss join the following club, once you've been a member for at least 30 days https://www.chess.com/club/cheating-forum
I think the Diamond Membership plan on here has a lot to offer, but I have decided to cancel. I will continue to use the features available for as long as I still have access to them and hopefully improve at playing chess.
But playing against other members seems useless, as it appears I am mostly being matched up against sandbaggers who have skill greater than their rating shows or they are outright cheaters who don't play so well in the beginning but look like chess masters in the endgame. Unfortunately, they get away with it, and this ruins the experience for honest players. I might as well just play against bots. At least then I will know what I am playing against.
I will be the first to tell you I am not that good at chess. I make bad mistakes. But I don't think I am that bad that I should be getting crushed as frequently as I have been.
I think chess.com should file lawsuits against people who make browser extensions for cheating on this platform. It's hurting their business and ruining the experience for the rest of us.
What are your thoughts? Have you experienced the same?
