Snarky message and immediate block

Dear mods, 

If someone sends you a message accusing of being a cheat and immediately blocks you, why do you see it? If you can't respond, you shouldn't get that message. Fix this.

A messages B. B can see this message. A then blocks B. B cannot see the message now. This is what you want? If B wanted to report A, now they cannot access any evidence...

Some player who hasn't even played me accused me of cheating and then blocked me. WTH?

well that's weird, but chess.com doesn't ban anyone for cheating unless they're 100% sure. They aim to reduce false positives. So if you weren't just copying the computer's moves, you'll be fine.

Most people who accuse others of cheating are bad at recognizing cheating.

I have no idea how to cheat. I play pretty badly. If someone lost to me, they're really bad.

Even some 2000s suck at detecting cheaters tho they all block me and I almost never get snarky messages like that after like it's a good thing if they block you you don't have to play with them again

It's really sad how about of people accuse each other of cheating just because they can't tell what it is or if they can tell they can't tell what is not cheating

I would, but I never even played this person. That's the weird part. I guess they looked at one of the crummy games I played. No way someone would think it's a machine.

They can contact staff support and give the username. Often you can still report messages.
