Cheater Icon?

I found this guest mode thing on chess.com, and tried some games, but now it looks like I have a cheater icon.

As you can tell from the position guests aren't the best players ever, so I won some games, probably with some good moves, but I don't need an engine to find moves like Qh5 lol.

By the way I can still make moves, it's not like I'm blocked from playing, I just have this icon 🤷

Remind me again, how do you play as a guest? I haven't played any guests I don't think (maybe it's like the anonymous vs anonymous on lichess?)

You have to be logged out, and you go to "play" but not play -> live chess, just "play" and then you'll get an option to "play online" and  you'll be asked for how good you are (beginner, advanced, that sort of thing).

It seems kind of buggy though. It seems like the first game is always 10 minutes even if you select a different time control. And when I logged on during my guest game (to see if that would do something) my game froze and it wouldn't register my move (I could move anywhere, but my clock never stops ticking down).

And now the icon is gone so... weird.

Maybe it’s because of fair play policy? Just guessing

U r 2200 rated...I guess u kept playing with beginners

That’s the only reason that makes sense, I believe u didn’t cheat

Yeah, mostly beginners... but for the record I selected "advanced" so I was playing other people rated "1600" who also selected advanced.
