Puzzle Cheaters

True. The Lichess community focuses on ratings such as Bullet, Blitz, and Rapid. Puzzles are for your own improvement, unlike the other ratings which you play games with. Besides, the puzzle rating is at the very bottom, and who really cares if you have a rating of 4000? Anyone can easily open a new tab and use an analyzer to solve a puzzle. I think Lichess and many others would agree with me that the puzzle rating matters the least.

Not a really important bug.
Having just tried this out, I see that (for what it's worth...) the little box showing your "successful" result is blue rather than green if you cheat.

Also, the analysis/game is not available on the app until after you solve (or fail) the puzzle. That's probably enough for me, as all my playing/solving is normally done on the app.

Ratings chasing is such a destructive and pointless thing for most people anyway. I (try to) view my rating simply as a handy way for the algorithm to make sure I generally play against people who are pretty much as bad at chess as I am myself!
How do you even tell if someone’s cheating or not? Well, you check their ratings if it’s way too high and they haven’t solved many puzzles, most likely they would be using an analysis to solve puzzles.
Does anyone know who has an extremely high rating, get's them all right and hasn't done much puzzles?
