Sandbagging Warning • page 1/1 • General Chess Discussion • lichess.org

I received the following message from lichess

"You have lost a couple games after a few moves. Please note that you MUST try to win every rated game.
Losing rated games on purpose is called "sandbagging", and is not allowed on lichess.

Thank you for your understanding."

I received this message after I mass resigned 20-22 correspondence games, the reason being I was going offline for 2 weeks (for exams) and I didn't want to waste my opponent's time anticipating my moves. Is there a way I could avoid the cheater's tag. I did wrote a reply to the message telling my situation but I am not sure if the account behind the message is a bot or a human, that is why I am posting here to attract the attention of some moderators. Thank You.

j'ai eu des problèmes similaires dut a une mauvaise connexion internet et un moderateur ma dit après lui avoir exposer mon problème que j'etait seul responsable de cela. bref il y a pas grand chose a faire il y a pas de personne a l'écoute et c'est bien dommage car en lui méme le site est bien.

It's a warning.
