How is cheating so bad on chesscom almost everyday I get a message of someone banned and receive ratings and then you find guys playing stupid moves at 1st and then all of a sudden engine precision and they've played thousands of games this app is a joke and it's so clear they've failed at this so I'm soon pulling out wad even about to subscribe but it's pointless at this point

*sigh* People complain when opponents are closed for cheating; they complain when opponents aren't closed for cheating. Sometimes I think people just like to complain.

Your rating will recover: the result of a handful of games doesn't affect where you sit overall that much, even if you didn't get ratings points back when an account if closed for a fair play violation - the only reason chess.com does that it to make you feel better about it, not because it has any real effect on your rating.

None of the cheaters you've played recent have "played thousands of games" - one of the ones from May 9th was only on the site for 10 days before they got closed for cheating; for the second, it was less than 24 hours. The 3rd one was 2 days.

Just one on May 8th and they had been around for awhile - maybe they only started cheating recently. No opponents closed for cheating May 7th or 6th.

Cheaters are identified and closed. Accept your other losses as lessons to be learned rather than throwing your toys out of the cot.
