A honest question to people that have cheated and been marked as cheater

@Childfriendly-chess You've had a response which is interesting and quite revealing. Those clearly aren't quality game annotations made by a 2500 player. But unfortunately the point of the posting, and what it shares, is unclear. And your questions haven't been answered.
I don't think cheaters would post publicly that they have cheated as it will give them the Ban Hammer

And Carlson, Nakamura! Strange how the most fervent accusers ignore the fact the both Carlson and Nakamura have cheated on video. Are you a fanboy of Nakamura & Carlson, or are you scared of blaming anyone who is not a kid?
I know two Grandmasters that cheated in a simultan against me. They where playing together against me and some other kids (opening and middle game by the first and middle game and endgame by the second). At the end they flipped the board and I still managed to win, even if I had to play with their position
I never understood why people seem to think the motives behind cheating are myerserious and unknown. Clearly, some possibilities include: money, status (look like a chess legend), deceiving yourself into thinking you are clever while undeestimating how much it ruins the game, a desire to increase rating (especially, "fixing" your rating to where you think it belongs after a certain points loss), and/or in some cases, creating "model games" for yourself to study later and try to learn from.

Innocent, your honour.

The point was accusing me of cheating

Could you explain how you deduced your conclusion?
