@Ali-Momani-92

You are not staff, you are not an employee or management or ownership (board member).  You are certainly not part of  IT staff or senior management.  You have no idea what software chess.com uses to  prevent cheating on this website.

In other words, you have no idea what is going on.  I can tell you that the website known  as ICC DOES.  They have a special section where chess engines are forbiden.  If you choose to play in that section and  attempt to use an engine there is a 99% chance you will get booted, with no questions or names taken, permanently.
