I really am sick of this website's permission of cheating. I have an account elsewhere and they're far superior in how they handle this; I feel like i am actually playing people. This website is either loaded with bots or allows for people to cheat. The only reason why cheating goes unnoticed on this website is because the website helps ensure you win 50% of the time, so you don't get too put out when you face some sketchy players. Even so, it is just absurd. The website barely compensates with points. I have faced some real obvious ones and I received no points in return (not that I even care about my rating but just would like cheaters to have some consequences).
