should cheaters get a shadowban ? • page 1/2 • General Chess Discussion • lichess.org

Hi guys today i received the message someone u reported got banned and i was very happy. So everyone wants to get rid of these unfair players.

Should cheaters get a shadowban so they are not able to participate anymore (like Twitch shadowban)=(They cant create a lichess account with a new email).

So they can only play if theY hide their ID and get a VPN. i think a shadowban would be very useful.

What do u guys think about this topic ?

Enjoy Chess !!! Have a nice day!

It is a common knowledge that cheaters mostly play in rapid and blitz arenas, so the easiest way to avoid them is to play quick pairing instead. I wouldn't go for more than 15+10 though, as with the slower time control the risk of playing a "professional" cheater grows dramatically.

One of the methods of improving quickly in chess is to stay away from twitch.

If they go VPN then they can cheat all day every day, and the VPN companies collect more money. It means that the only one who is losing is lichess user against an upgraded cheater.

They should get both ip banned and hardwarebanned but should get a second chance if they accept and apologize.

Does this mean a family or a flatshare is banned if one member is banned as cheater?

Yes, everybody.

Exactly!

Of course I'm against the dark age. But it was kind of Monty Python humour that you come up with such an idea as the kin liability in this post. The problem is not this idea, but how and when it could be executed. I think #2 is more related to the original topic.
I don't get what it has to do with polish jokes though.
