Cheating

For several reasons. To raise rating and show it to others. For the sake of a sense of their own superiority. High rating as compensation for psychological complexes. And finally, just a habit of deceiving people.
Just a suggestion but if you eliminate posting in forums and make all games unrated. The "cheating issue" would go away.
You do play for fun not showing your brainless mouth. well don't you

Nope, that gets you banned. Lichess detects if you try to cheat using Lichess... Lichess will just interrupt the game with the message "Cheat detected, <player who didn't cheat> wins". I've had that happen in one of my classical games once and my opponent confessed that he was about to resign and opened this position in the analysis board before actually resigning.

Great to know that. Then I think they uses stockfish app installed in their computer. Or might be their relative is a titled player? They just ask them and they help him/her to win.

yes true
People who are worthless, probably even in real life they are just some crooks
Another thread mentioned shaming cheaters. I tried to start the ball rolling but Lichess immediately pulled my post. Which frankly shows cowardice on the part of admins. There is a player here who is an open, admitted cheater. He actually said in another forum “...of course I play engine...” He then went in to brag about his string of victories! As long as Lichess lets cheaters like this remain, Lichess is a joke.

Well, very sad to hear it.
When I report cheating cases to chess.com, I get a positive response from time to time. And here there is only silence in response. Except, perhaps, of only one case.
