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

You guys seriously need to reconsider using this software, Lichess username is the same as my chess.com feel free to look me up 2000 rated, but here I struggle to beat 1200s because the absolutely ridiculous amount of cheaters on this site. It's infested and I doubt that Danny will ever do anything about it, because cheaters are still buying premium and keeping the numbers up, I genuinely suspect that over 50 percent of my opponents are cheating in the rapid pool, I have only ever suspected 1 person of cheating in my rapid pool on lichess, and that was to be a closet cheater, meaning that more than half of my games felt like a genuine human chess game to say the least, almost none of my games feel purely human here, and its not just me thats noticing. Go ahead and lock this down to cover up the ridiculous cheating crisis now Martin. I know that you're just doing your job, so I'm not upset with you brother. Just upset with how greedy this company is overall. But you have a blessed rest of your day.
