Sugestion

Hello!!

Is it possible to implement a filter in some official tournaments like: 

"be an active member of chess.com for at least 1 year. "

Reason: too many "new" cheaters, speacially in daily tournaments.

This filter should not apply for gold members or above.

(If you want to cheat, at least pay something lol)

Just curious.....How can you tell if someone is cheating?

Of course, I can not tell for sure, but I get suspicious if it has 3 points together.
1- new chess.com account (created in April 2025, for example), with a name and lots of number: example: RenanLima20024222421.

2- Many games with precision above 90%.

3- Daily rating above 1700, but blitz and rapid ratings below 1000. 
Put all three points together. Of course, this is not a real proof, but it does not make sense to me that a strong player, which is really REALLY weak in rapid and blitz, has a new account in chess.com and 99% of the games are daily games (which the system needs more time to check).

Interesting. I've been playing on chess.com for about a decade. Never have I been able to tell. If I did notice it, I would report the player/match.
