new cheaters

They've appeared in many guises for sure @fastlearner50

So many people are saying that anyone below 1900 who plays a triple 0 game is a cheat. I'm fairly sure I've played quite a few perfect games when I was below 1900. I understand the frustration, but don't be too fast to judge. Sometimes, it's your ego that's the problem and not your opponent using assistance. Grow up and stop complaining - just report to mods if you're so annoyed. Imo, the lichess cheat-detection system is the best of all websites and is constantly improving.

I've reported 3 individuals using engine in our tournament and 1 admitted. We reported them and "walllllaaa" their account is still open. One of the guy has 100 percent accuracy in all his won games. An astounding record of 13 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss (intentional) with a rating performance of 2658 wherein fact he doesn't even place top 20 in our local tournaments. Another guy, also a friend of ours with little to no experience at live chess at all, was beating players over 500 rating points above him. Now till me where is justice in that? If you want proof, i can send you the games.

Cheaters these days follow 2 simple steps:
1. Get banned
2. Be an A**hole on the forums

@keruya - could you pls send a link to tournament as that's pretty insane!

So for the record, it was also pretty recent, right? May 16th was yesterday. Give the admins a chance, and I am confident justice will be done if the evidence is clear. Remember this is pretty much a volunteer org. Just keep reporting them, and we will keep this place clean.

I got 8 points refunded to my rating because Lichess detected cheating. I didn't even report the guy. This is way, way better than chess.com where their mods only seem to concern themselves with dirty words. The chats on chess.com, more often than not, are vulgar and infantile. This is a much, much better site.

Which is worse, cheaters, or people who are always biching about cheaters whenever they lose a game?
I can tolerate the cheaters better than the persistent gripers.

@sparowe14

Your priorities are misplaced. Cheating is truly a sin. It's what people with a diminished conscience do. Griping can, and often is, justifiable. Cheating is NEVER justifiable. Maybe if your rating is impacted by cheaters you'll get your head on right.
