CHEATING

I've played hundreds of games since then at a higher elo and haven't gotten points back, so I'm going to say you're a complete liar and a contrarian unless you post screenshots

I don't know how to post a screenshot. I'm not very techy

That's what I thought. Thanks for clarifying you are a liar.

If you tell me how I post one though

I'm not lying just tell me how

How to post a screenshot? - Chess Forums - Chess.com

Well, I can't figure out how to post a screenshot but go to my game archive and search the game where I played @DrChampstein1 in rapid, @TanishqFAFA also in rapid, @Alvgar423 in rapid, @Hmm07123 in rapid, @DongtanUm in rapid, @can56chucthang in rapid, @maxitaxi09099 in rapid, @mountain_rocks in rapid, @KendoCrew in rapid, @x1Aditya-inactive in rapid, @daw_duralsky in rapid, and I'm not even counting all the blitz games. Literally just look through my game archive of rapid games and you'll that I'm not lying. I suggest you don't go calling people liars and contrarians just because you don't know what you're talking about.

I didn't say they weren't cheating. I know they were cheating. I'm saying that you can't produce evidence that chess.com gave you the rating points back, because they don't anymore at low elo due to their ineptitude and unwillingness to pursue low elo cheaters. I sent you instructions on how to do it, so at this point, if you suddenly come up with an image of it, it's pretty clear you were stalling to generate an image of that screenshot using AI. You are a very clear liar, not acting in good faith - which is in line with the toxic chess.com community.

You're the toxic one. You're just being entirely unpleasant, when I did nothing wrong.

I would try to provide a screenshot but since it's you asking for one I have nothing that I need to prove to you so I'll simply block you, and not respond anymore.

And there we have it ladies and gentlemen, paid shills on chess.com lying feverishly and when called on their lies they back off. This website is absolutely awful.

Are you really try to prove volo-triumphare right if you hate this site leave why stay here if you have it you are nothing to gain from it except get into these ridiculous fights ?

Actually, you're the one unable to handle facts; going back through your archive, you've had points returned from several opponents who were banned for fair play violations since March 20th:

3 games over the first 10 pages / 500 games, or 0.6% of games. Erik has said that cheating rate is probably in the 3% range, so you're actually doing pretty well - but then, we know that cheating is less prevalent at your rating level.

I think that's the matching algorithm, but I don't think it's a filter option you can choose.

I never received points back. The accounts may have been closed, I never received points. I never claimed that there weren't accounts closed from cheaters I have played. You are misrepresenting what I wrote for misleading intentions.

You seem to be the one trying to mislead people, because your first post in this thread said:

"The only thing chess.com cares about is the availability of games and people buying memberships. Cheating does not concern them below master level."

That strongly implies that Chess.com is not closing accounts for cheating below master level. But they are and you admit that, so does that mean your issue is that you're not getting rating points back for games that you have lost against cheaters? That's something you can ask Support about, but really it's just a placebo, since you only have to play a few more games after that loss to a cheater for your rating to become accurate again - if anything, getting points back inflates your rating artificially and you then lose more rating points in your next losses.

And here we have the reason why Chess.com doesn't allow discussions about cheating in the public forums: because you inevitably get comments like this from people who refuse to engage constructively or objectively wrestle with the issues, but instead fit everything into their narrative.

People back off from you because you refuse to consider their arguments and claim to be attacked, when they're pointing out your factual errors.

Observers will note:
1) David diminishes that it's a problem that rating points aren't given back
2) David Immediately defends chess.com's ability to detect cheating without citing any evidence, and omits that I do say in that post ~"Except for very obvious cheating", conveniently omitted to fit his biased propaganda narrative
3) David resorts to the chess.com shill classic : ~"You suck, it doesn't matter because you're low elo. Just get good - which I indicate in an earlier post is one of the 2 main tactics of paid shills on this forum

Show me a factual error I made.
