To me it doesn't look appropriate to ADVERTISE (let's call stuff with its name) here, especially in a site which claims to be "no-profit, ads free etc. etc.". Even worse, it's not even about chess. And it's not even the first time lichess advertises someone. For example, I wonder why this guy @TheOnoZone keeps getting on the first page every time he publishes something. He is at a weak amateur level, but he sells lessons for $50/hour, basically how much an IM would ask. Of course he has the right to do that, but why does lichess advertise him? With another account, in the forum, I criticized lichess for advertising him and soon after (coincidence?) I got a red mark on my account despite never having violated ToS. Let's see how long this comment stays (or how long before this account gets banned/muted as well).

Another time they even took position about two GMs accused of sexual misconduct https://lichess.org/@/lichess/blog/breaking-the-silence/ZNTniBEA, which I believe should NOT be up to lichess. I hope they were innocent and sued lichess.

@arvheckjays All lichess is doing is raising awareness about msf through chess. How is it advertising? the money genuinely goes to people in need.
Besides, TheOnozone provides various high quality blogs for the community which is something you don't do. If you think his prices are too high just don't pay. Simple.
For you to get a red mark, you need to violate fair play standards since it's very rare to get it for communication misuse. Besides now you are admitting to ban evading so it will be no surprise to get this account banned as well.

2373 forum posts, a good part of them probably just pure aggressivity towards those who dare to criticize the lovely and never-acting-in-a-bad-way lichess. You surely spend well your time.

I got a ban for the reasons you mention, but never violated ToS. At the time, I played online chess for over 13 years (maybe you're not even 13) without anything like that ever happening to me, then I attack Ono and boom, ban. It's suspicious to say the least. But maybe it was just a coincidence. Either way the lichess admins abused their power. Believe what you want, I couldn't care less if kids (which you probably are, and your attitude would be understandable), lichess fanaticals and/or losers who blame cheaters for their incapacity don't believe me.

I didn't. I offered original, high quality content xD

I usually don't interact in this forum (nor in any other place on the internet, they're all terrible), I made an exception because them trying to collect even more money from people didn't look like a nice thing, after this will be closed I'll come back to rest.

Anyway lichess site is GREAT, no doubt. It's excellent, probably the best around. But some of the admins don't look like nice people to me and they also seem in a bit of a power trip.
