MAny people have said this before, but its really hard to prove someones sandbagging. u could accuse someone that's 1800 whos lost against 1300's 5 times in a row a sandbagger, but is he actually sandbagging? how do u prove it?
Unless it's blatantly obvious, like the account has like 20 resignations on 1st/2nd move, then u can't really prove it.
Hence chess.com isn't going to try and punish people based on accusations of sandbagging. if you look at how rules are operated on chess.com, punishment is never dished out unless staff are 100% certain you have broken a rule. This is evident with cheating. they have a very specific way of figuring out a cheater, and if they're not 100% sure they won't ban that player, even if it is likely they are cheating.

Yes, sandbagging is against the site TOS. Just based on the posted graph, it doesn't necessarily look like that per se, but it would take a deeper look. Since the account isn't closed, the fair play staff ether haven't had a chance to look at it, or they have and have determined that no violation has occurred.
That said, this type of discussion isn't allowed in the general forums. If you would like to discuss, join the following club.
