Considerin leaving Chess.com? Me too!!!

Why am I seriously considering ending my chess.com account:

1st of all, an Incredible number of cheating players. And how do I detect a cheating player? (0 errors and 0 blunders is the easiest way), or else; first and second games player makes the typical mistakes of mediocre players like me. If I win these one or two matches, then they win the next 1, 2,3,4,5,6,7 matches in a grandmaster mode. Typical of those who cheat. To this day I can only recall one player's points been returned to me, and that was many, many, many years ago.

2nd This comes from the first ... I gave up playing games with 3, 5 and 10 minutes because that`s where most cheaters are. And here I am faced with an atrocious surprise: The clock ... Against European players (Germans, French, Spanish, Russian, Romanian, anyone ... choose any country !, I win and lose by my quality or lack of it, because my opponent was faster or slower ... Anyway, I accept what I get, good or bad. But against players from the American continent, USA, Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil ... anyone, even from French Guiana, lol, I noticed that the clock ALWAYS works for them. Anyone, from the best to the most mediocre, plays fast and, if they manage to survive until then, they usually win. I had games in which my opponents had 3 seconds and I 10, knowing this situation, I played ahead and voilá, even so, the end of the game came and my opponent had won  the game. I`ve had MANY cases, that even pre-moving I lost for 12 SECONDS DIFFERENCE. I'm tired aof this lack of honesty and respect. I Wont be bored anymore. I'm leaving in a few days. I've been looking where to do it, but everything is very hidden. From January 15th, goodbye Chess.com.

If I win these two games, then they make 1, 2,3,4,5,6,7 followed by a grandmaster level. Typical of those who cheat. So far, only one player's points have been returned to me, and that was many years ago.

The cheating detection is very strong (both specific and sensitive) on chess.com from everything I've read. If you believe cheating is occurring, just report for abuse and block. If they really are cheating, especially at our rating, it should be detected most of the time or at least better than anywhere else.

if they are cheating, chess.com will detect it, and you have to work on time management, and try to improve instead of rage quitting. Your opponent is not always going to get lucky by the clock, and in faster time controls, there is less cheating (because it is harder). Also just because there have no errors or blunders does not mean they are cheating, it just make them suspicious. 

So many cheaters that I scored 34.5 out of 35 games last night... these cheaters need to step up their game!

(FWIW two wins were unrated, and one win was only 3 moves long).

That means they didn't cheat. And if they're cheating, you complaining won't help. But you CAN learn from them - which is why I actually quite like being paired with cheaters. Chess.com investigates around a million (I forget the exact number) for fair play each month.

all you've played is bullet. It's quite hard to cheat there... 

It's hard (well impossible) to manually transfer moves. But that's all. People cheat in bullet, and if chess.com is as full of cheaters are OP says, then you'd think I'd have run into a few, especially considering I was playing people at his rating level.

yeah, you would probably time out before move 30

You know what they say about accounts that
