@nomindtosucceed depends on the circumstances, see lichess.org/faq#rating-refund
@dfn00b your claim that the sites don't operate the way you describe is blatantly false
@Cedur216 Stop talking about stuff u dont understand.
How many reports have u worked through? Not one!

> Here's the situation: I lose to the guy, I look at the engine after the game, I see that he has 97+ accuracy, I watch his games against other players - it's the same there, I send a report, two days pass and nothing happens. I also see that most of the people who lost to the guy I suspect of cheating didn't put the game in engine analysis, so they don't know they were being fouled.

Lichess rating are vastly over rated. Your classical rating on lichess 1800+ (provisional) would translate to 800-900 OTB you just met a better player.
And you have no rights to write anyone and say report. If you wrote me and said that to me you might not like my answer.

Cite evidence.
I think they should switch to a hidden MMR type system where you don't know your rank, and you only play people at your skill level. Also, accuracy stats should be hidden, and the report button eliminated. Hidden algorithms will auto ban cheaters, and you don't have to worry. First by checking for tab switching, and if arena.exe or chessbase.exe is running in the background. Then move times, accuracy, after the fact. Then all you have to do is play chess, and you won't be upset about your rating, because you won't have a visible one. You can still get an after-action report based only on your play where you can do tactics puzzles based on your games, or the game you just played to improve your play. An online rating means nothing anyway, if you want a real rating, go play OTB in real tournaments. Because this is what entices cheaters to play and to cheat anyway. They want to have a glorious rating. Get rid of them, problem solved.

> If I had something to say of value to you I would say Just Play study Study Play & don't worry about "cheats" . I glanced at your games & see yes when just about anybody wins a game the centipawn loss is low ,,, One must remember if someone is playing on down a piece or two or a couple of passed pawns on the 6th 7th & then asking questions about well you won or lost & why the centipawn loss was low' then just think' about not overthinking situations , Lichess does find an occasional cheater however people believing they are being cheated alot & wanting to "demostrate "how" is way too much thinking about this & NOT THINKING about the REAL ISSUES OF GETTING BETTER AT CHESS or JUST ENJOYING LICHESS ! @SvyatFromTheFarEast Please don't want to see TOS violation after your handle ... Let's just play study study play Chess & Leave Lichess to find "ThaT" occasional cheat
i agree on the sentiment. I have only reported a about 3 persons i suspected were cheating (many suspicious games in tournaments), in each case the account was closed later. However. I have stopped worrying about this and am enjoying the game more since. I you see something that looks really obvious then report it to lichess with your evidence (not just a hunch) but in my experience that is very rare. Instead spend more time analysing your games and enjoying chess.
p.s. it is indeed possible to get very high accuracy in a single game without cheating. Recently i had a nearly perfect game.
the Real Issue true is Studying Chess AS WELL AS PLAYING ALOT but also study ALOT so Study Play Play Study Chess Videos & Books @EmaciatedSpaniard
