Don’t cheat, as easy as that.
I have been playing chess online on many servers for 20 years with say 20 accounts and experienced not a single serious problem.
For EJ _Sam
Just as a note, you did not resign from the correspondence game you played against RTD.
Here’s my twopenny worth...
I never have the same game open in different tabs or browsers.
In correspondence games I do use the analysis board (sometimes) that is available as part of a correspondence game.
I never use the opening explorer in one tab while playing a game in another and / or play moves of that ongoing game in said opening explorer.
I’ve only had a few games disconnect through a bad internet connection where the opponent may have thought I had just abandoned the game. If I’m away from home and don’t have a good connection, I simply don’t play as it’s very annoying for myself and my opponent if your opponent leaves the game without finishing it. Where this has happened I have always sent my opponent a message and apologised.. even if they choose to ignore me.
Since I don’t want my account flagged, banned, marked or in any way scrutinised, I ensure that I never do anything that brings my actions and gameplay into question.
Finally, I’ve glossed over the TOS and certainly don’t know them word for word, but I do know what I’m allowed and not allowed to do in order not to have my account ‘flagged’.
I don’t ever foresee my account and name being in breach of the TOS.
Well, I don't know what's happening

So are you saying that the system algorithm of Lichess is perfect? That everyone who was flagged as cheating have actually cheated?
@EJ_Sam I wouldn’t say ‘the algorithm is perfect’ or cheaters would get caught and exposed on the first occasion they cheated. If it was perfect they’d never get the chance to cheat twice.

Supposing that that 99% is accurate, it is an admission that there clearly can be false positives.
