Review the ELO rating which is simply absurd and ridiculous. I have won more than 6 games against one player and I am awarded ZERO points. What if I had lost? In these conditions you want to stop playing and delete your account

Nice, the system caught a cheater. Thumbs up to BGA's elo system.

What is your accusation based on?

I don't think there is a way to discuss this openly in the forum without running afoul of the rules against posting cheating accusations in the forum. So even though Ceaseless may have reasons for their statement, they can't respond to your question here.

Respectfully, this is not the place for accusing someone of cheating.

The evidence provided in the report I sent to moderation, in which I name the cheating account(s), several of their games this is seen in, and how it is noticed (when dealing with dozens of cases, handy to have an easy way to check the games.)

Beyond the completely gratuitous insults , I refuse to have to lose 5 or 6 points just because I draw a game with an inferior player

Then play in friendly mode, because that's exactly how elo is supposed to work.

Alternatively, play a game with no draws.

And how draws worked before the change.

But that's not really what is bothering the OP.
