I have to abort 90% of all matches on daily because they are all new accounts. Can u 'chess.com' block ip numbers of cheaters, and not just bann accounts so everyone can remake a new account. 50.000banned every month and 50.000 new every month. Useless

I'm not an expert, but I think ip numbers change each time you log on. Is that dynamic ip address? I think the only way to overcome this is to have some kind of identity check, which would be difficult I imagine? It makes me wonder sometimes if I really want to continue with chess. Anonymity seems to be the preferred state for many. It''s a shame.
Some of those getting banned are titled players too.

But i wonder how many admins there are here. Bc i have only seen 2 active on discussions.
Over 110,000 people join per day. How does having a new account correlate to cheating in any way? If anything people who just joined are going to be looking for games as that's probably why they joined. Old timers like me who have already been playing games for 6+ years on here are more likely to be hanging out in the forums, replying to messages, watching live games, searching for interesting topics..etc, than be in the live game pool at any given time. So it's more likely to encounter young accounts when playing games, not less.

I rrad it had 150mil accounts. So.. It says a lot how many make new accounts and cheat...
Cheating is something people tend to do after being frustrated losing. Most cheaters probably didn't start cheating at the start of the account (although I have seen this in daily).

And hikaru just post a video were he comment that cheaters can not be found even tho they cheat here. People can cheat and will never ever get caught. Bc there is no vac.
I almost forgot discussion of cheating is banned in the regular forums. It can only be discussed in the club for it "cheating forum".

Maybe if chess can introduce a new filter, only play against players with 1000+2000 games or more. Or play against members who have been here for more that 1 2 3 years and so on. Or something that.

If someone beats me with 5000 games and have accuracy 90%+ i dont care. But new accounts with only 90accuracy wins then its annoying

Well that's excessive, as some people only play a few games a week.
