What is your "You lost to a cheater" percentage?

I would rather not if you dont mind :)

Once I have flounced off, I always prefer to leave it open so I can flounce back in again , if I choose to .
I'd say I've lost to ~25 cheaters in my 25,000+ games on the site.

So, it's about 1 in 1000. Really not as big of a problem as many people make it out to be.

OP Plays mostly slow time controls. In my experience, there are more cheaters at the slower time controls. That's probably why he's found so many cheaters already.

What you can do to avoid cheaters is avoid players with question marks by their name (indicating they're new accounts), and before moving, take a quick glance at how many games they've played. If they've played 100+ games, chances are they're not cheating or they would have been caught already.
I agree with jposthuma. I see players make questionable choices - like stream sniping and listening to my comments more often than all out abuse.

I've had 3 (that I can remember) caught out of 75 rated standard games. I've had one admit to having a friend (2 friends actually) help during the game, and one admit to stream sniping. There was maybe one other fishy game where the opponent may have been getting assistance another way (but I'll keep those details off the forums) -

comes out to 8% assistance abusers - lower if you are not a streamer.

Edit: I went back and counted.. it was actually 7 caught out of 75 standard games. lol? This seems abnormally high.
Again, and yes this time for the last time, I promise :)

The number of cheaters who have been caught playing you, and the numbers of cheaters you have played, are not the same thing.

That is like saying the number of people you have seen in your town or city equals all the people in your townorcity.... or whatever

It is pointless me saying this again because none of you seem to be able to grasp this.
So my final flounce, and yes this time the gate will be shut

Bye bye xx
