The honest player 2 - BANNED post REOPEN

Dear folks, few days ago I made sarcastic post ‘The honest player’ which was banned because of: ‘strict policy against naming and shaming’. In my opinion there was no ‘naming and shaming’ just few games examples in *** place to confirm what was the logic of conclusions. Of course, if someone would go to see this games he would see also the player who cheated (just my opinion). Anyhow I removed examples (***) and reopen.
TO BE TOTALLY CLEAR – I DO NOT WANT TO ACUSSE ANY SPECIFIC PERSON HERE FOR CHEATING, accordingly I will not put in the posts examples or any suggestions which my lead to some specific person.
BUT, I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT SOME PEOPLE HERE HAVE SKILLFUL CHEATING TECHNIQUES THAT ARE NOT RECOGNISED BY LICHESS AND I WANT TO OPEN DISSCUSION ABOUT THAT.

The honest player 2

This is a little story about one honest player. I suppose he is not the only honest player here but I found him. People would generally think that lichess should found all these honest players and give them reword but unfortunately that is not case. Maybe the reason is they are honest in less than 10% of cases so it's not obvious they are so honest, at least for lichess. Or maybe they are so good in their honesty, let’s say they are skillful to hide it, so it's not obvious they are so honest, at least for lichess.
OK, can I prove mentioned player honesty? Buuuuua, who am I to prove anything? I mean, lichess SHOULD BE ABLE to prove it and accordingly to give reword to the player. So, what can I do? Well, I have common sense, 2000 to 2100 player, not genius but maybe smart, I think for understanding average should be enough.
First group of cases, when the player plays honestly, of course he wins, 0 Mistakes, 0 Blunders ***
Second group of cases, when the player is playing independently against lower ranking players, wins or defeats are not so important BUT many Mistakes and many Blunders ***
To conclude, how is possible that player (always equal game time) has many Mistakes and many Blunders playing against low ranking players and continuously 0 Mistakes, 0 Blunders when playing against 2100 players? Well, who knows, I suppose he had skillful methods.
Anyhow, I will not play here anymore. For now I will not delete my profile just to try to publish this post and maybe see if other players had similar experiences. Stay well folks.
what do you want to see lichess do about cheating? ban every cheater before they play their first game? sounds great. how do they do that?

how about banning every player accused of cheating? that would be every player that has won a game.
What games are you talking about?
What time control?
Rated or casual?
Tournament or lobby?
