Lichess terms of service are ambiguous.

Lichess terms of service forbid a second account, but also forbid rating manipulation.
If I play all berserk in the arena for all, then my rating may drop below 1800, so I can win an U1800 tournament and then go back to berserk in the arena for all.
@Trickz7
You can have two accounts but the registered email for both of the accounts should not be same as it would violate the Lichess terms of service.
@Trickz7: You may create a berserk-only account, if that is what you are actually using it for.

@tpr: The ToS are ambiguous exactly because of people like you, who were trying to find loopholes. We got tired of arguing with them, so now they forbid more than is actually executed in practice. There is no way out of it, unless we want to spend our days arguing instead of moderating.

and @tpr again:
> If I play all berserk in the arena for all, then my rating may drop below 1800, so I can win an U1800 tournament and then go back to berserk in the arena for all.

I am asking you one final time to stop claiming this, or make it clear that we do indeed mark players for that.
As mentioned on #4 that lichess rules are very ambiguous.

To be clear If you create a second account for blindfold or some other reasons such as playing variants then i don't see any problem with that. Some try to avoid those on main account which is fine.

As a mod I have only one account, i don't encourage people to create alternative accounts but also when they don't have any bad intention don't restrict it too.

Unless you are abusing the system with many accounts, you are good.
