STOP SANDBAGGERS!!!

To the thread starter: if diamond membership is causing you this much consternation you can always upgrade to a platinum one.

OP: You appear to be one angry dude on this site. Lots of things annoy you... Move on.
Maybe with good reasons? I paid unintentionally a diamond membership. I have lost a lot of games because of silly reason: poor connection, sandbaggers... Besides when I registered here I didn't go through a registration wizard, I was automatically assigned a rating of 1200, which clearly is too high for me.
So you admit it. When you joined chess.com you was 1200 with a fake ranking that doesn't reflect your strength.
A hypocrite you are.

What's the matter? As soon as you have played enough games the rating will adjust to your real strength. I know a site that gives you 1700 by default when you join it.

I didn't want a 1200 rating. It was only cause of aggravation. I was given it, no questions asked
Exactly I rest my case here. How do you sleep at night being such a hypocrite.

You Sir make me laugh

I've looked at your record. You've played opponents with ratings near yours, and you have won about half of your games. That's typical.
What's your basis for concluding that your opponents are sandbagging? I can't believe that everyone that you lose to is a sandbagger!

Only 2 in fact, and I have played only 4 games with them. But facts speak for themselves. I can't name and shame, but the opponent I played tonight has lost only 11% of his games out of thousands . That makes it impossible that he has a rating of 850
what does this have to do with sandbaggers in this context?
