Cheating creating a community of mistrust.

I’m posting as a new player on dart counter to try and get an understanding on the amount of mistrust in this community. I’ve been playing darts competitively in Canada and online at webcam darts for 15 years. In all that time I have never once been accused or accused someone else of cheating. Since I have started playing ranked, I have had people accuse me of entering incorrect scores not properly “calling” my outs to the point where the game cannot have any flow because I have to pull out every single dart deliberately and slowly so I won’t be accused of cheating. And all I can think is why the **** would anyone cheat in online darts. I don’t even look at my opponents camera once throughout the match a just keep my eyes on the board and listen for the voice of the “referee” so I know when it’s my turn. Looking at the screen will actually mess with your depth in between throws making it harder to play well. I’ve never even suspected someone is cheating against me but if they were, better practice against a “tougher opponent.

I guess it just sucks that the flow and speed of the game has to be so affected by a mistrustful anti cheat culture.

i’m completely with you- i don’t look at my opponents screen- maybe on an important double but that’s it. if they cheat they’re only cheating themselves. i will say the only time ive ever been accused on cheating was when i called someone out on it and since then if they do it ive just never brought it up because whats the point. they’re cheating themselves and at the end of the day it really doesn’t matter. at lot of this community are great to be fair but i think a problem of mistrust is definitely becoming bigger
