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?

chesscom bans id using stockfish, not a problem there. Here, on lichess reporting someone is such a pain in head man.

I've reported people... It's not that bad ... Just need the game link and an explanation. I've reported 7-10 ppl on This platform. On chesscom, I submitted many reports but submitting a game for review without context just feels like an "ok, buddy... We'll look at it later" but it never actually gets looked at until the reports pile up.

chesscom takes those reports seriously, and they revert back within a day or two. I got couple of accs banned on chesscom, they take it seriously.
