Have I missed something? but I have lately been given matches where the other player is rated at 1600 (all of them are rated exactly 1600) but joined only a day ago and hasn't finished a daily game. I've reported this but haven't got any response
When creating an account, a skill level is chosen, and that sets a default rating.
The site does not ban people for reporting other members.
Well, Lichess used to do it. They warn ppl that if they sent so many false reports, they would "report-ban" a user, that is, they would prevent the user from reporting in the future. Thats why this site is better, we don't have to type out long paragraphs explaining our theory just because WE feel someone has cheated. This seems to be suited towards those paranoid users who feel that when they lose a game, they feel the opponent is cheating.

I have finally seen one normal person in this club
Those fake ratings can explain Youtubers getting fake views, likes and subscribers.
Fake it, you make it.
Don't make it fake it🧠
If you report abuse to staff, using the Support tool, and make false claims, that could result in being banned. Just reporting won't do it
thanks all - didnt realise you start at 1600 - seems ridiculously high but whatever
