Why chess com doesn't care about cheaters, there are so many of them and chess com gives a big shid about them, no matter how many times u report there is no any f reply from lazy support which is also useless. Laggy and buggy app and website, full disappointment

Chess.com bans a LOT of cheaters, it's unfathomable really. I think they do a great job, but they struggle with success. Being such a large website attracts a large number of cheaters. Also, your cheat detection may not be better than their cheat detection. So take it easy, if someone was cheating and you report them, they will most likely get banned happy

You joined just 15 days ago, and you're here defending chess.com as if you're some kind of chess.com stooge, a plant, an AI bot on a PR exercise, here to defend their reputation, how could you possibly know if they do a good job when you've been here 2 weeks?

Of course they ban lots of players, there's millions of players so a lot of people will be caught, but they cannot catch sophisticated cheats and they know it, they only catch stupid people opening up a chess calculator on a different tab on the same browser.

Chill out lmao, I've had accounts before, I deleted my account a while ago and had a break from chess but now I'm back, so hard to believe? It's not that deep.
