My guess is that he will get himself banned for cheating at some point? Idk tho, the account was created last year
I don't think they'll close it like that. Maybe an invsa-ban?
I get messages from time to time that I've been refunded points due to an opponent's Fair Play violation. I'd expect it to come like that. It likely won't be quick, and they won't tell you which opponent it was, so you'll have to guess.

Sure, I do too. But the guy didn't cheat. He's a much stronger player, an FM of 2500 strength on his main account. So it wasn't really a fair fight, and lost more rating than I should have.

I had the same thing happen against a speedrun account of Nakamura's (@YearOfTheRabbit). I lost two games (and 16 rating points!), and it was never refunded, even though he reached his goal long ago.

Oh well, look like I'm not getting my rating points back.
You played really well the first game and was pretty lucky to play Hikaru, even if it wasn't on his main account.

From what I can see the rating should have been refunded on June 19, 2019 from that account.

Still no hard answer from anyone. :/
I can give a soft answer, but giving hard answers is beyond me. :/

A speedrun account is making a new account, starting at a rating (usually the lowest, 1000 or 1200 I think) and then trying to reach a specified rating as fast as possible.
Just cuz a lot of people are asking and getting "soft" answers
No one asked what a Speedrun Account is?

I mean Hammer asked...
shhhhhhhhh
So apparently I played a "speedrun" account @FedaRunner which I believe is @FedaMaster's speed run account. And it said all rating points lost to this account will be re-funded? How will they refund us the rating and when?
