They reported me for cheating, but I didn't cheat! Am I in trouble?
They reported me for cheating, but I didn't cheat! Am I in trouble?
Updated this week

Chess.com will never close an account for cheating based solely on reports. If you haven’t cheated, there’s no need to worry.

The reporting system is designed to alert the Fair Play team that an account may require investigation. However, reports alone do not trigger account closures. If the Fair Play team notices a high volume of reports, they will investigate the account thoroughly. If no cheating is found, all reports will be dismissed.

This means even if a super popular streamer gets all his followers to report you if you didn't cheat, nothing will come of it!
