At least Lichess does a good job at monitoring cheats, and the point system is actually fair. I find chess.com to be the offensive site. I will not renew membership here. Its a cash grab, at best.

Lichess is not good at catching cheaters, they are just aggressive. At least 1% of lichess users banned for cheating did not cheat. The figure is likely between 0.0001-0.001% for chess.com...

If I had to choose between letting 10 criminals loose or locking up 1 innocent person, I would choose the former (let 10 criminals loose)...

You can think that chess.com is a money cash grab and an offensive site, but those views are compatible with my views on lichess.

My account was closed, but he is defending this person's username?

Wow. Another confirmation that Lichess is trash

So the server is blocking what we say?

A moderator is probably warning, which is what they do in tournament chess areas. This is a 15 minute warning, but I find it interesting that when your account gets closed it's either immediate in the live area or after a moderator is seen online. It used to be bufferunderrun for me. I would log in with a new account, all other moderators actively engaging in conversation for hours wouldn't do anything to my account. But when I saw him online, I would eventually get my account closed (within 5-10 minutes). Try to make an account like "bufferunderwear" or something funny like that. It won't last, and it will eventually get deleted. The only solution I see is to go incognito through a difference device.

I used a different device. I think they use your ip address or something

They said "Your account was closed because you have broken our rules on at least two other accounts.

You are no longer permitted to create new accounts.

We will only consider giving you another chance if you appeal again after 6 months. This waiting period is mandatory and will not be shortened for any reason.

We have the right to take strong action against users who repeatedly break our rules (lichess.org/terms-of-service) on multiple accounts by for example using engine or external assistance, sending offensive or "spam" messages, registering an unnecessary number of accounts, or trying to evade playbans."

First of all,why did they even delete your accounts?

Isn't it against terms of service to have multiple accounts without permission on lichess

Browse in incognito mode. Make sure the VPN killswitch is turned on. For example, do not use Hotspot Shield vpn; it does not have a killswitch.

Come on, it's not worth it. Boycott that website

Friend me so that I can message you. I have a foolproof solution for you, but it is dangerous to share.

Depends on what they mean by "multiple". If they are saying two at a time, then yes that might have been the cause for the closure of both accounts. That is why I always delete the first before making a new one. If they are saying you can't have multiple in succession, meaning you make an account, close it, then make a new one, then they should clarify that. If they are saying you did something wrong, and you make a second to find out why, they should then tell you why the first account was closed. If you aren't defiant and you agree to not break the same rule, you should be allowed back on the server after understanding their rule. Simple getting along logic 101.

Maybe the computer reads it wrong instead of looking at the dates :/

Both my lichess accounts got closed.

So Basically I created an account 6 years ago to play casually, And then I Created another account so its anonymous and i can play blitz games. Also, My old account has a little bit of rapid games and studies so thats why i created another account, (my old ones was for opening). In 4 hours, Lichess Deleted Both accounts. I have already appealed and am waiting for a response. What further action can I take?

You should wait up to 72 hours to view your appeal. Are your accounts unbanned yet?

no they arent

Just because lichess tells us their procedure, does not mean they follow it. I have seen them deliberately refuse to follow their own procedure. Its called corruption. Lichess is corrupt, which is indirectly conferred by its values being anti-democratic and their infrastructure residing outside of a healthy democracy.
