I used to really like lichess but not any more. I asked them twice to ban organizers of the following disgusting tournament: lichess.org/swiss/83oPmZ4B which is both: anti-Semitic and pro-Russian (in the context of the war with Ukraine started by Russia and Stalin like atmosphere of hatred that nowadays is established there). Lichess did not even bother to respond which means that it either supports it or does not care. I am absolutely not suggesting to ban anti-war or even neutral players from Russia but only those who aggressively promote it's current unhuman policies.
Absolutely yes.
It's for feedback section though.

Thanks @ShiningDrongo , good idea, never posted before, so did not know there is such section. Will repost there tomorrow (today they told me I "have reached the daily maximum for links in forum posts." which is ironic as the link points to their own site).
Your title is misleading. Lichess did not organize this tournament and the tournament was hosted by a PRIVATE team that probably included anti-Jews and pro-Russians.
Because this tournament is private, rather than public, the rules around it are less restrictive and the anti-Jews and pro-Russians are free to do whatever they want with it.
If they, however, publicly advertised the tournament in the forums, then that would be a violation of the rules due to the display of an insulting message and advertising.

Itns not private. It's hosted by Lichess, anyone can access it and read the title (provided one reads Russian).
Also, I agree to #2: this should be in Lichess feedback. No administrator or moderator EVER reads the off-topic section.

The name of the tournament in english: "Glukhovsky go away, Israel is waiting". Very classy lichess. I remember when you banned me for posting an old 1970's Fawlty Towers video with a nazi joke making fun of Basil Fawlty but appartly actual bona fide fascism and antisemitism in 2022 is tolerable on your platform.

Unfortunately you are brainwashed by propaganda. Any country including Ukraine or US has anti-Semites (racists, loonies of all kinds, etc). I even support their right to speak as long is they don't insult others. I don't agree with Ukrainian nationalists who praise Bandera but it is not the mainstream there (I can remind you about jewish background of Zelensky, who is a publicly elected president, as an example). But even if they were dominating it would not have justified starting a war as long as they had not started a war themselves. On the Russian side the organizers of this tournament are just an example of dark forces that are becoming a mainstream there nowadays. And Lichess ignoring it and hosting the tournament and a public page with obviously anti-Semitic content (hopefully inadvertently) joins the battle on the wrong side
