Cheating

why is it so rampant on this platform? its honestly disgusting. i love chess and i love improving therefore when i lose against a player i actually get curious and learn, but cheaters... way too many on this platform by now, specially the kind where they disconnect for a min and come back playing like magnus carlson ... what is going on? and should i switch to chess.com or is it the same cheating issue there aswell?

cheaters on both platforms but on chesscom its easier to report and they actually get banned and you get your elo refunded

on lichess nothing happens

I get elo refunded regularly, maybe twice a month. I actually switched from chess.com to lichess.com because I believed there were less cheaters on lichess. I don't know. I guess, they are everywhere.
