Why are there never any sanctions against the cheaters?
Cheating

The claim that cheating “cannot be detected” is incorrect and contradicts the site rules. Cheating and the use of undeclared assistance are explicitly forbidden on FlyOrDie and are subject to sanctions, including rating resets and bans, as stated in the official Site Rules. Detection is handled using a combination of internal tools, behaviour analysis, and player reports. The forum is not the place to speculate about detection methods or moderation actions. If you suspect cheating, the correct procedure is to use "Report Abuse" from the player’s profile and allow the Moderation Team to review the case. Posts claiming that cheating cannot be detected are misleading and do not reflect how enforcement works on FlyOrDie.

Why in this case do 2/3 of the players cheat? I know a lot of players who would like to pay a subscrption tu support your plattform but who are reluctant to do it because of this deceptive behaviour. Moreover you give the impression to tolerate such behaviour just to have some traffic on your website.

Claims that cheating is tolerated for the sake of site traffic or revenue are incorrect. FlyOrDie has always enforced its rules regardless of a player’s activity level, rating, or time spent on the site. Cheating detection and sanctions are handled through a combination of automated systems and manual review by the moderation team. These processes are intentionally not made public, which is why outcomes are not always visible to other players. That lack of visibility does not mean inaction. Decisions are based on evidence and technical criteria, not forum opinion or speculation. Public accusations, assumptions about motives, or repeated claims that “nothing is done” do not help investigations and are not accurate. If you believe cheating is occurring, use the Report Abuse feature so it can be reviewed properly. The forum is not the place to debate enforcement policy or spread unsupported claims.
