Let us see how long chess.com Will survive with the massive cheating and ad issue. Locking threads and lying will not hide the truth. Even through the mods lying. claim 142000 bans a month either you baning 1.7 million a year and yet you all have less then 5 mill so either you Banning almost a third of all accounts or you all are lying through you teeth and if it is that many holy how bad ia cheating then. Then there the ads 3 clicks many ads are unable to be x out. we see how long you all last. We seen when you decide to lock this thread with lies and misinformation.
Also I hope Martin_sal post he usually post claiming the 142k thanks for proving me correct. You post just show how the mods and devs are out of touch.

As previously posted, the perception of cheating is vastly greater than the actual level. Many that think cheating happened in many/most of their games are unfounded assumptions.

Outside the top level, the incidence of cheating is minimal.
That said, the site does not allow the discussion in the general forums. There's a place for it and you're free to discuss there..

Your numbers are off as well. In the first quarter of the year, there were 9.7 million daily active users on average, with 14.9 million new accounts over that time.

You don't have to believe the site reported numbers, but that doesn't make them incorrect.
