cheating, a cry for help.

Lichess used to be amazing, but it has a lot of cheaters now. It's exhausting. I've reported countless games and they never get banned. The mods do nothing.

You are right. And we should ask the mods what percentage of accounts that report games are shadow-muted! There is little to no accountability or transparency from mods on this site.

There's no point in expecting sites to do any cheat detection, it's an impossible task if the cheaters are even slightly sophisticated, and even an impossibly expensive task at scale, when they aren't.

Online chess random matching is a dead, destroyed game. Just stay out of the random match pools unless you view it as "lets get some practice by seeing if we can convert this extremely winning position against a bot".

It's a majority of games in casual and anonymous, now.
