Because you are provisionally rated and have played 10 won 10 some people are afraid that you might actually be rated much higher. They don't want to lose rating points.
Or they don't like the time controls you choose.
Or something else.

Dear DrDon & assorted Others..
& more to the point of this thread......

Who discovers & calls them cheats after WHAT tests...?

What tests are available to us Chess Tryers to be certain enough to label someone else an "engine user" ?

I think if the mods are made aware of a player then they can run their games through Fritz or a.n.other engine and see the % of moves that match up with their middle and end game. I don't think it's an exact science but if you take a reasonable large sample of games and they have a high percentage of moves that match then that would be classed as suspicious. There are also moves that computers would make that humans wouldn't apparantly, they are more material based whereas we sometimes play more positional. I will probably be corrected on this but that's what I have picked up from these forums.

So watch out, if you have a suspiciously good record, ie. 500 wins and no losses, expect to see Hercule Poirot on your cyber doorway in the near future!

Seems no one on here is cheating. All the ratings are too low.

It seems you need to **** a lot of dogs to get your rating up and even then it doesn't work.

Is the only way to improve your rating to cheat somehow?

Please tell me! How?
Can we try to set you up in a game with drdon? 😉 Maybe you two could discuss it at length???

"how are cheaters caught?"

apparently they like to post 2 long threads about beating other cheaters, thus getting the attn of everyone and getting banned a week later.

it is odd though, Mary Ann made it 500 games before she was banned, they busted Fifthdivision in only 50?
