Impossible to play clean at low levels? Chaters only get ban at high level. Tell me our opinion.

I think the cheating is very common in low levels ( 500 - 1000) but only get banned ppl who have high level. This is make the game at low level impossibile to play equally. Tell me our opinion about this. Thank you.

no, at that level people dont even cheat, as why would they drop from their starting rating if they were to cheat, also most people know very little at this rating to differentiate between a cheater a good game

A good gamer with only 800pts?? It is nosense. And if i start cheating no one at my level note that? So can I cheat without banning? No sense man.

You made such threads three or more times, still I can give you the same answer, your premise is wrong and you're paranoid (or can't stand losing)

How do you know they're cheating?

("it's obvious" or "I know it when I see it" are not good answers)

Games at that level are just blunder exchanges. If you lose, you lose dramatically. It's easy to misinterpret that as having been cheated.

@crisostomodelpantano if you genuinely wanted answers, you should have searched for existing topics first, for example

All reports are treated in the same way by moderators. If a player was reported and not marked as a TOS violator as a consequence, the most probable explanation is that they didn't cheat in the first place.

Let's take a look from a different angle. The rating of 1000 is 4.4% percentile in classical, 12.7% in rapid, 10.6% in blitz and 10.1% in bullet. How likely is it that someone is cheating an still unable to get better than more than 10% of all lichess users? (Or, even worse, 3% for rating of 800 you mentioned in comment #3.)
