No intergity

This platform has no integrity. Was playing pretty good and got to low 1600's. Even had a 1700 + player beat but didn't. We all know that feeling. Anyway that's just to give some background. So I'm playing any old random guy and he calls me a racist out of the clear blue because of my name. Says it's hate speech and he's going to report me. After that I've lost nearly 150 points. Can't beat low 1400 players. Hmmmmmm. I'll come right out and say that I believe this platform will put you up against a computer when you think you are playing another player. My speech isn't politically correct and I'm being punished.

What person in his right mind would play an online casino? It's common sense that you can program a computer to yield a certain outcome. Same here. No one can prove to me that Lichess does not use the computer opponent to beat the hell out of anyone who gets "reported" for "improper" speech. Anyone can tell the difference between a 1400 player and a 1700 player. It's obvious. But get on the wrong side of the thought police and you will find out that every opponent is Bobby Fisher regardless of rating. So long Lichess.
Its called tilt. Mad about losing? The tilt increases. Lichess isn't that fast also, so this guy's report wouldn't have even been processed during that session, no lichens moderator cares about your lack of political correctness so long as it isn't inciting violence or outright offensive and personally attacking. Lichess doesn't but players against computers, you just played poorly on tilt and lost accordingly.

This wasn't an engine playing, you just hung a piece on move three! Lichess's only methods of punishments are timeouts, mutes, bans, and shadow bans. Don't cheat, don't be a jerk, and you'll be fine.
@StupidGambitsOnly "Don't cheat, don't be a jerk, and you'll be fine."

Remarkable how sometimes solution is so easy for anything! ;) (Sarcasm)
How you can give yourself a liberty to say that?

When I had enabled chat option, when I beat my opponent he called me: "Putito, snake, coward,...", I always responded with "Thank you for the game" and block him immediately, unless I started to play in "Zen" mode, enabling all privacy settings. And all reported instantly, but no reaction from admin. Is that is what make this platform user friendly or simply hostile? Or I can claim that these who have to punish such behavior even support it not reacting at all?
'No one can prove to me that Lichess does not use the computer opponent to beat the hell out of anyone who gets "reported" for "improper" speech.'

You'll find the burden of proof lies with you. You might research Hitchens' razor.
#1 "Bobby Fisher" is such a paragon of integrity.

People play in online casinos all the time, especially during a pandemic. That poker stuff is addicting.

"I'll come right out and say that I believe this platform will put you up against a computer when you think you are playing another player... It's common sense that you can program a computer to yield a certain outcome."

How courageous of you to accuse in the same way as so many other players.

Have you considered playing good moves? lichess.org/practice doesn't explain the value of the pieces, but it turns out queens are good pieces.
