List of cheats for a change?

Maybe the admin should do a running list of cheats they have caught or are there simply too many?

It would take them a while to write a random name generator. They don’t ban that many people. All the times I’ve been refunded I never see an acc closed even after taking the time to look at every game I played and seeing opponents profile. I once forced a draw on a cheater and they didn’t refund me then but when I checked his acc it’s closed. That was so long ago I don’t Romberg the time frame but I wasn’t even refunded is what gets me. I think they only close accs if they reach 2000+ then they take action meanwhile they’re pretty much free to cheat till then. As far as cc claiming they’ve closed many thousands of accs I also call bs on that. Where’s the proof? Doesn’t exist

Someone said that I cheated, but someone on the forums said don't worry, if you didn't cheat, you have nothing to worry about. I said so if I said I did cheat, but didn't cheat, would I need to worry about getting banned. They would not answer that question.

If they really believed in their cheat detection systems and know who is not cheating they would have said yeah go ahead. No one believes in their cheat detection nonsense. I hear this, if you didn't cheat you have nothing to worry about all the time, however that can be tested, very easily. Maybe I will test it out one day, when I bored with chess.

The site used to publish a list like that but it was removed a long time ago. It really doesn't help anything more than posting the numbers in the monthly updates.

The perception of cheating levels is orders of magnitude more than the actual amount.
