Why you should report cheaters

hi all,
sometimes I cannot believe it - I am around 1760 pts and loose 3times vs an opponent around 1515 pts without any chance.
although he has a checkmate he needs his common 7sec to think about (an obviously clear) move as he does in a same sequence before. Cheater ? - I am not sure - who can ckeck this out ?
as I wrote #11
now a better valued player has been annoyed about a loss, and with caution, my account has been provided with an indication of cheating.
I was prompted to name my FIDE ID etc ...
Great if everyone tries to look at each other and a defeat can not stand!
No-one gets banned because of a personal issue. Contact the mods, maybe they'll hand out the meta data of your games and the "fingerprint" which is more or less a valid sign for cheating.
#22, maybe that's because you did use an engine? Users can only report a suspicious players, that's Lichess stuff who ban them.

#6 Resignation is not because you're down a few pawns, but because you can't win at all and want to save your time.
vkrish - I have played against computers before on other sites. I KNOW what they look like.
Ok,ok.It's very serious thread.I know only one thing that cheaters are not good people.
I almost never report players (i did once when the guys had a friend 2200 elo looking at the game and he told me "he is just trying to make me better") because i find it's too hard to know if the guy just played well or cheated.
Since i'm just playing to get better, i have no time to waste to look at the historic of the guy to find out if he cheated or not.
And if he did, i dont really care : i lost 10 elo and what ? I'm not gonna die ^^
