cheaters.!!!!!

I hate that almost everyday I play against cheaters. The keep manipulating the time so that it doesn't start n so that it regenerates. How come nothing is done about this. What can we do about this. I have a list of names of people while I'm playing their time goes from ( example) 2:10 then jumps up to 2:30. What I like best is when my time starts right away but their time does not start for sometimes 5 or 6 seconds. I hope the moderator can answer these questions and also answer how come this is going on. After so many complaints why are these cheaters not banned.

        If we stay with chess.com for a long time, will we be called old lags?

Since you just joined, you cannot have looked at the cheaters list. It was abolished more than a week ago.

Here is Erik's post about it from 8/6/14:

Hello Chess.com

We will soon be making some changes to how we display profiles for members whose accounts were closed for cheating. We will no longer place a "cheater" flag on their public profiles. Also, we will no longer have a page listing accounts closed by our anti-cheating system.

Why are we doing this? Because publicly exposing cheaters never became the deterrent we hoped for. And worse, the practice of calling out members has fostered too much negativity toward individual ex-members in general. 

Our policies and other practices around closing the accounts of detected cheaters have not changed — we will continue diligently monitoring and closing accounts just as before. And we continue to invest in our cheat-detection system. In short, we will continue to do everything we can to combat cheating on Chess.com, we are just changing how we publicly handle those accounts accused of using outside assitance. 

 

Thank you! 

Erik.)

blacknite1 is clearly a cheater.  I just played him and he was somehow able to block me from making the correct move.  I just read the many months of comments that indicate he is a really bad guy.  Why does the site put up with this?  I am never going to upgrade to premium.  What other sites are there for online chess?

i just played 3 games against a player named dinker waa.  he abandoned 2 of the games and automatically asked for a rematch.  I thought maybe he was having technical difficulties.  Then i noticed that i did not get any points for beating him.  see below.  I am 3-0 against him, but the result did not register.  What's going on?
