I don't know what you mean by cheating. This site has very strong players and even at low levels one occassionally runs into these future world champs.
A thread detailing one such encounter I had on this site is detailed in that thread.

To discuss the matter of cheating further, or to learn more about cheat detection, please join the Cheating Forum: https://www.chess.com/club/cheating-forum
Chess.com takes cheating very seriously: see https://www.chess.com/article/view/chess-com-fair-play-and-cheat-detection, https://support.chess.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1444879-fair-play-on-chess-com-what-you-need-to-know and https://www.chess.com/blog/DanielRensch/cheating-on-chesscom.
Cheaters are banned when they are detected. There are various tools that are used to keep them from returning without permission; these tools are familiar to anyone who has run an online forum.
However, discussions of cheating in the main forum is not permitted, as it tends to become very heated and result in lots of public accusations, many of which are completely unfounded; you might be surprised how many cheating reports we get about low-rated players after a game that was a complete blunderfest. If all these reports were aired in public, it would just cause an ugly flame war. Therefore, I am locking this post.
To report a suspected cheater to the Support team, please select Report Abuse under the Help menu, or use this link: https://support.chess.com/customer/portal/emails/new. All reports are investigated, even if there is no immediate visible action.
Thanks,

Note, btw, that a single game is rarely sufficient to prove cheating. Many players, even at low levels, are quite capable of playing the occasional game with very good numbers. This is especially common when the positions are relatively straightforward with no complex tactics.
I once had such a game myself, where both players were extremely accurate: https://www.chess.com/live/game/2242614062. Much of the game was a drawn endgame where good moves were easy to find for both players. While most of my games don't look anything like that, it's not uncommon to occasionally find games like that even at low levels, from legitimately human play.
What answer do you expect from others? You can either keep playing here or stop playing here if chess.com is a heaven for cheaters, what else can I say? It's up to you.
