Have the chess.com Ratings inflated?

I used to be stuck around the 1500-1600 level for around a year or so and suddenly in January itself my rating went from 1640 to 1840 which seems unreal to me!

Maybe you've improved? I've found that when my rating floor permanently improves it tends to be in big chunks.

Your rating hasn't changed much over the last 90 days.

Commercially speaking it would make sense, in this site (and society) every mean is employed in order to give some false sense of achievement.

i don't even play that much on this site nowadays?

I know this is a common topic for you to troll, but the OP doesn't, so I'm pointing it out. The OP was actually curious about his improvement.

I will say this - it would probably scare me to know how many rating points I have gained because of people violating the 'fair play' clause. I benefit...but I don't quite think it is right.
