Cheating in the 2100-2300 range

Cheating has always been a problem in online chess, atleast since i have been playing, but the amount of cheaters I face in the 2100-2300 rating range is concerning.

Over the past couple of months this issue has become so common, that when I get into a game i am more or less forced to check my opponents account to confirm wether or not they are cheating. Every third game or so I will be facing either a fresh account with a 100% winrate or a old account that has seen a rating rise of up too 900 elo in the last month. It is really annoying and a waste time to go through this process. I know the fair-play team has a lot of work each day, but there has to be some type of solution to this issue. Maybe one could prioritize fair-play checks for players with a unusual rating increase and accuracy.

If you have any other ideas on how this problem might be solvable, feel free to leave a comment!
