IP Traced to multiple accts? Get a second acct banned that you WERE sandbagging on to play in the rated tournies?
Some of his games have 0/0/0 but thats certainly not unheard of; and its not every game; maybe one in five.
If its not a mult acct issue I can't imagine what it was. But that seems plausible.
Side note,
Dont they use ZH bc of craZy House + CH is often used as a abbreviation for check like cm is for checkmate? Least thats what I always assumed.

zh comes from the good o'l days at FICS.
zh was a shortname for crazyhouse when you made seeks.
also zh was often used in the famous zippy-file (winboard)
and when you made your formulas on FICS

Absolutely ridiculous. Banning a player from every activity, essentially killing his account, for that reason alone is a punishment totally disproportionate to the offense. Dear Lichess operators, if you want to prevent sandbaggers from entering a tournament, just make rating stability a prerequisite for entering that tournament. It is that simple. It is a problem that can be solved nicely by some clever coding. The way you "solved" it, by banning permanently from the site one of the most inspirational players/streamers of the Crazyhouse community worldwide, is ugly as fuck. It is unjust, it is un-clever, it is un-civilized, it stinks totalitarianism. It makes you the bad guys. Revisit your procedures, please.
1) @Norbert-Spiewak sorry, I don't get your comment. Why should it be funny?
2) I think we should support Atrophied as a chess (and crazyhouse) community

Like most people, I don't know exactly what happened here. All I know is, *if* someone breaks a rule, I want them to be held accountable just like any other player would be. I'm not liking all these posts seeming to imply that people should be able to escape punishment, or receive lighter punishment because of their status or contributions to the community.
This is horrible.
All the best for @Atrophied.
No concrete reason given . I think this is really bad practice by lichess.

@lilyhollow , Atrophied brought up that point in his video, that some streamers (without mentioning names) have gotten away with breaking the ToS, without it having any consequences.
*if* that's the case, then of course there should be consequences for them too.
@lilyhollow of course if Atrophied broke the rules, there have to be consequences, but:
1) some clarity is needed
2) different actions deserve different consequences, are we sure that even if he did break the rules (and I don't think so, having analysed his games) he has to banned for life? that's quite extreme
