I am currently working on a school project aimed at analyzing the trends/behavior of cheaters using the Lichess database. I was wondering if it is possible to find any records of cheaters that have already been banned from Lichess for fair play, or just the usernames of cheaters? I don't need a 100% complete database of every single cheater, the most I need is a sample of maybe a few hundred to a maximum thousand, though more is definitely helpful. To make it clear, this post is not intended to publicly shame players/cheaters. Any help or insight is much appreciated!
Nope. You are unable to view a list of cheaters. Most of them are already closed.
delivering such an list would be violation of privacy so obviously no.
Does a list of usernames that cannot be traced back to physical person constitute a breach of privacy? Doubtful.
It would constitute a breach of privacy, if only one account could be traced back to a physical person. Which is highly likely.
source?

Also cheating in an online game is not a crime! So nothing technically would be violated there IMHO!
I think they should named and found and put in stocks , " how do you like this move" throws rotten tomatoes , "and this non computer aided move " lobs a smelly fish .
anyway
you'd need to do a bit of scraping "this player violated terms of service" in red under the name , so python the API and beautiful soup ,maybe? I'm not an expert .

Yes, but some people might threaten physical violence against a doxxed cheater, which they definitely do deserve.
*Don't! Sorry, I meant to write "don't," not "do." Just a little Freudian slip there.
