it is more and more frustrating to play here, not even that many player leave the game prematurely or dont like to play with you - especially when they realize that your rating is not good enough or too good -, but cheating here is meanwhile so extensiv and obviosly, that blocking someone is a drop in the ocean. Sometimes you get some points from chess.com "we have detected...", but this is only a fraction of the real cheating scope. I was playing here for many years and I know what I'm talking about.

So I will leave chess.com for a while and hope (probably in vain) that some day there will be a change.

Did you watch Danny Rensch's video on the massive anti-cheating efforts here?

15,130 accounts closed for cheating last month. 

14 titled players.

It's already getting much better.

So according to your math here, this site sucks at solving the problem of cheating?  5.2 million accounts reviewed but only 87,000 closed for cheating?I'm with blitzmeraweng.  I'll pay the $79 for ICC.

I don't think that's what I said.

I meant to say that the site is making big efforts to combat cheatingand their recent reports show that this is paying off.
