I report everyone.

Im not good enough to tell when Im just playing a high rated player on a smurf account, or if people are using engines.
Either way, ill report every single person that beats me handily. Hopefully they take their statement of "we investigate every report thoroughly" seriously.
I blunder pieces all the time, like an idiot, but the people Im playing against always see it, every time. (I never see the blunders, unless its something small like, "hey look, free queen")
people be doing things that require like 5 move foresight to understand whats happening. (again, maybe this is normal, but Im not good enough at chess to tell the difference, so Ill report anyone who beats me easily.)
Just wondering if anyone else is like this? or is it just me? Is it just experience to learn whats normal?
For the record, Im only like low 300 rated, but it seems like a cess pool down here, outside of the handful of decent matchups Ive gotten.
