Chess.com pairs me with cheaters again
Sort:
You guys are doing the same thing again, pairing me with cheaters and chessbots, I'm very upset and frustrated as a player, I've even reached 2630 in bullet, and now it turns out my level has been dropping by pure "chance", of course I don't really know that you're doing this on purpose, it's not a conspiracy

It’s interesting how staff often step in quickly to reassure lower-rated players that cheating is “mostly perception,” but when a 2200+ blitz/bullet player like Dr_WissEnheimer raises the same concern, there’s no response at all. That contrast suggests a selective approach: mid-level complaints get dismissed with links, but higher-rated voices are left alone because they carry more weight. If the situation were truly just “perception,” then consistency in addressing all players’ concerns would be expected.

The site handles cheating at all levels and the restrictions about discussions in the forums is the same.
Bit it's still true that the perception of cheating levels is orders of magnitude more than the actual amount. The vast majority of games and players are clean.
