To report blatant cheaters - is there even a point to it?

#1

This isn't a rhetorical question. In your experience, how many of your reports of cheating going on, that was beyond any doubt, ever had any real consequences for the member in question? It feels like there isn't a single person in charge here who takes care of weeding out those people, who have nothing better to do than spoiling the fun of others, and the number of people I had to block because of that type of behavior grows larger daily. And none of them ever got kicked out so far, which makes me doubt that the report button really has a a function after all.

I'm just frustrated that nothing, or at least not enough, is done in order to curb this problem, which is common across all Chess websites.

EDIT: grammar

@loliconchess Cheaters don't play correspondence games. They sign up, play a few perfect Rapid or Classical games (you need some time to copy the engine moves, after all) and usually after a few days disappear again into the ether. Then the account stays dormant forever and serves as further proof that apparently cheating is kind of semi-allowed here. I get the impression that with only a few mods (currently we seem to have none), this place could really begin to blossom. Or at least show that there are people behind the scenes who take action against any rulebreakers. After all, I can't be the only one who cares about this issue.

Here, this was just minutes ago on Lishogi TV. I didn't even have to make an effort to search for an example because there are so many. Check this guy's account and you'll see he's either the greatest player who ever lived, or, much more likely, a lowlife cheater. Both the problem and its solution are super obvious to me.

@Tracy-Reznik Sorry, but what are you trying to say?

Besides, I could give you a whole list of people who played and in some cases continue to play dozens of these flawless matches. But that's natural. It happens to every online place where the rules aren't enforced.
