Well, let's say you have a computer, and you love it very much and it loves you back. But it has been booting pretty slowly lately, and maybe it randomly disconnects from the internet every few hours. Then, one day, you see a beautiful and sleek new computer in the store. You buy it, feeling guilty about the betrayal of your other computer, but also exhilirated at the new delight you will get from using this fresh and fast computer. You make sure not to use them in the same room as to ensure that they are not aware of each other's presence. And thus the cheating begins.

lol ok
Occasionally when I have had a really good game I have been accused of cheating so some people are paranoid but sometimes I meet a player whose play is just too perfect for his rating. So, either I too am a little paranoid or there really is some cheating.

There is no cheating. It's very difficult to cheat on a website that takes measures to prevent it as chess.com does. If someone was actually using a engine, (like stockfish) it is cross refrenced with the exact engine's top move. And all the other moves it suggests. If the player is playing it's top move over and over again, well there you go. Many people are banned for cheating. The problem here is, people are unable to see a player is doing better than them. Please, I invite you to analyze your game with stockfish or any engine you possess, and see. I have been accused of cheating for simply playing better after reading a book on openings. If you trap a person with a cheap trick, the immediate reaction is "OH MY GOD CHEATER" and et cetera. The problem is the fact that chess is a show of skill. People dislike being inferior and loosing. And that is why many get mad, and why many better players are obnoxious. (Not saying ALL just some)

Only weak players complain about cheating. Strong players use that time to improve themselves.

Long time controls are for improvement.
Short time controls are to help avoid cheating.
Which brings up your other favorite point... that's why strong players play their serious games OTB

Are you retarded ? There are thousand ways to cheat, ranging from dumb way of running a engine on a seperate tab and copy moves from there, to more complex ways like making a script that reads current board position and use that with a popular chess engine to find the best.

If people cheat, that’s the saddest kind of pathetic. What a way to waste your life. All it does is make the cheater worse and the opponent better. Having said that, I have found that if I do not get enough sleep and/or I eat too much sugar, I tend to play a lot worse. That happened to me yesterday; I had a whole string of losses and I was tempted to think that some kind of cheating was going on, but then I thought about it; I realized I had not slept very well the previous night and I had a lot of sugar and junk food the day before. So I was careful about how I ate yesterday; I slept well and today I’ve been winning a lot.

It’s difficult to tell if you’re playing worse or not; it’s easier to think that someone else is cheating.

I have a couple of things to say about this:
1. NEVER use the I word (i****)
2. I think why you say this is you have no knowledge on chess. @chess.com does not punish you for opening something else during a game, so people just open an engine and enter the game. Has anyone looked at your profile? 300 rating in rapid!? Even if you knew chess, you in this case should be learning and increasing your rating instead of posting here.

It may be that chess.com doesn't do enough about cheaters - though I don't know if that's true, I've never claimed - or believed - anyone has cheated against me, though I don't play as many games as many here.
But I don't think chess.com is "infested" with cheaters. I think most people want to play THEIR game, not make moves for an engine and then claim credit for it. That can't lead to much pride.

Any cheats out there want to play?.... I'm up for a game if you want to test ya cheating skills out 
To be fair, I rarely see cheaters on this site. I've played hundreds of games and I guess I only suspected 2 or 3 times.
However, this is just my experience. Since many people here complain about cheaters, I think it's better to have a more open discussion about those issues. Usually thoses threads are locked and then a mod posts the link for the cheating debate group. Not sure if it solves the problem....
I've seen many posts complaining about cheaters and, obviously, the number of posts regarding any subject will always be nothing when compared to the number of games played. If you don't like the word "many", then just read as "regular" or whatever. And it's not even a matter of being right or not. If the person believes he's being cheated, no matter how immature it is, locking his thread doesn't seen an ethical thing to do, unless it becomes a anti chess.com propaganda.
Wait, you actually posted a rant about cheaters and you delete your account? What was the point? lol.
