How to identify cheaters?

Ask their address go to their home and check I do that only
Generally when they play perfectly according to the analysis. From a player rated below 2300 you should expect quite some inaccurate moves, so if you analyse about 3 games and they all have a centipawn loss below 15 you're pretty sure they use computer assistance.
Almost everything you read is wrong.

Often cheaters post here to complain about getting caught. After they're caught all their games are paired against other cheaters.

Some people cheat in all their games, Some people cheat in 80% of their games. Yesterday someone posted here who played a 1000 games, then cheated in one, and got banned.

There's lots of different kinds of cheaters.
Cheating detecting strategies only work when the cheater is "stupid". Adopting more "clever" cheating stategies would make the cheating nearly impossible to even guess
