Farewell

Best of luck.

No No No. What the heck happened?

Pepellou has been a respectful, prolific contributor to Lichess since I've been around. I don't have any details, but this is an embarrassment.

> It's time for me move to a site that has their moderation under control.

which site would that be?

This thing that since we are unpaid moderators it kinda means that we are not experts in our fields or that we are less good than paid colleagues working in other sites is wrong. Mistakes can be made by people with a stipend like by people without, that's not the reason why a mistake happens.

We do moderation (or content or social managing or developing) in our free time but it does not mean we don't take it seriously and responsibly or that we don't use all the professional knowledge we have in our respective fields.

We know Pepellou and you have been patrons all this time and we certainly thank you for this and for the countless hours you've dedicated to Lichess.

Yes it is a disappointing situation for everyone. I hope chess.com will allow Pepe to open a new account. Good luck.

is lichess just losing their best streamer

Oh no. :(

I don't get it.

I didn't know mods could just close account like that, I thought they only flagged them for cheating or for fair-play violation.

Is there some kind of fight between Pepellou and Lichess?

@Hitsugaya - Nope. They won't provide any evidence or explanation of any kind for it either.
