Mostly getting paired against new accounts

I just crossed 2100 rapid recently. I never had a cheating problem until now. I have to look at every account I play to prevent potential cheaters, and about 3/4 of them have accounts made within the past month. Hot take, nobody is good enough to reach 2100 within 6 months of playing let alone 1 month. I try and abort these games because I dont want to play against stockfish. My problem is that my abort button has been removed and now I can only resign. So I either HAVE to play against new accounts or just auto resign them I guess? 

Just let me have a setting that I can only play against accounts older than 3 months. Its not a tall ask. I just dont want to play against stockfish/komodo/torch/a samsung fridge anymore. Im going back to lichess now where I havnt had this problem.

Not all new accounts are players new to chess.

I'm pretty sure the site isn't going to add a setting to filter out new accounts but there is discussion to a change in the pairing algorithm to work.in a similar manner.
