Cheating is increasing significantly in Classical and Rapid

I was banned because the mods thought i cheated and not really, how do I ask them to correct it? I only play fall and sometimes very well because I know a lot of theory

Players who play awful in blitz and in rapid like strong masters are always cheaters.
You did not even see Qf3+ and Qxh5 here, a 2 moves tactic.

I do not know if the cheaters has increased or not but maybe a player who has created a new account and has no points in classical or rapid should be avoided in your matches. Maybe in classical games is easier to cheat but if someone decides to do that will be hard to detect It. Try to think that you get experience even if you lose and the cheater just get points that do not deserve It.

How? Thank god that's not possible. You and I were such a player once as well.

@SeanRR I blame rock music and marijuana
Best ever!
Edit: I forgot to say Best ever “bruh.”
I guess the memory thing is due to...ah, never mind...

What I mean is that when someone with no points is challenging someone with a higher rating and his profile is created just a minutes ago could be a very strong player with Another account or maybe someone Who cheats. Is also true that could be a decent player. Anyway a big difference un rating make me feel no confident.

In schools, students probably have many ways to cheat. Imagine an AI cheating by looking at one screen and on the second screen suggesting or making the move. Sounds familiar? It's like a student looking over someone else's desk for an answer to the multiply choice exam.

Unless there is a webcam that can behave like a chess arbiter, looking at the chess players eyes or movements, it's going to be very hard to monitor dishonest chess players. Some are probably even under rated just to keep a low profile. They are probably not trying their best, unless there is something to gain.

My solution to help the victims : If a chess players active green dot turns grey (like leaving the chessboard or webpage), then the opponents clock should get some increment time. Increase the increment time for every green dot that turns grey. If a players dot turns off say 3 seconds, then the opponent get +3 seconds of increment time for that game. Cheats will then be playing against players that have increment time. That should help compensate for the problems caused by the grey dots.

Some times I feel I'm getting set-up, played or lied to by chess players, but I guess it's part of life as we know it today. Some forum post are probably just propaganda. Complaints do not solve problems. Give an idea to fix it with a complaint. Constructive criticism.

I gave a solution in post 46. Alternate solution: Increment time could also be given to opponents faced against players that have temporary ratings or against players that their rating is increasing faster than the average players.

To slow down the sharks: Increment time could be given to the players that have a rating deviation of 45. The ones without deviations of 45 have standard time. This would force players to be more serious about their games. I would assume cheaters would have a hard time to reach a rating deviation of 45. That too I guess can be checked to see how long on average it toke a player to reach a rating deviation of 45.

Bro You have cheated! Dont lie to us and to yourself
Thanks I'll take this as a compliment to my game

It takes a cheater to know a cheater!

Stop using individual cases to generalize an entire problem.
And by individual cases, I mean one or two game links.
