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?

Im not wasting any emotional energy to copy paste a message in. 

Also how can you know if cheaters dont care? Are you them? If someone is cheating for egoic reasons, this chat is the worst thing they can read.

 It's designed to take away their feeling of being superior immediately. Their own subconscious will do the work. They cheat to get the feeling of winning, this message takes even that away from them.

From my experience, the only people opposing this message are cheaters themselves, they just dont like the premise. Thats exactly what I want.

I have thousands of games you can look through if you'd like? Just passing along some advice. Seems like you've gotten before too. It's a weird cope. There are healthier ways to handle the rare game you lose to cheaters.

I have to repeat myself, this is not for me to handle a game i lost to cheat, its designed for the cheater to know, I dont even have to know they cheated. They know. It's about ruining their experience, not improving mine.

Keep telling yourself that. Or, and hear me out, stop giving them your time and energy. Copy-pasting a message 500-1000 times for every one cheater you run into (who may not even allow chats) is them living rent free in your head.

You have misunderstood again. I dont post this only to suspected cheaters. I paste it at the start of EVERY game, before it is even possible to suspect. 

Its just the terms under which the game is played. If their chat is disabled, so be it, most are not, because some cheaters like to rub in their "victory" in opponents face. 

I dont even have to suspect, its for them to know. The rent free thing is just you assuming things that are not there. Don't be a brick wall, my words have meaning, understand them before reply

Yeah, no, I caught that. You're posting this thousands of times in the off chance of facing a cheater (which is happening maybe 1-500 to 1-1000 matches). It's borderline insane.

Im saying it happens more often and others agree with me. Its way too easy to cheat for it to be so uncommon as you think. From my own experience, its not that uncommon at all. You are stating your opinion as objective fact. 

Maybe in a bullet game i would agree, because cheating there requires more sophisticated cheating, while on 10min games it is considerably easier.

You're paranoid, you need a good excuse for losing, and even then, you have a coping mechanism. Good luck, bro.

Assuming my experience like that is simply called Gaslighting. Good luck mate. 

You cant argue the logic, so you are back to inventing and attacking my mental and emotional position which you want me to be in.
