1. Fill out a report form if you think an individual should be banned, don't air your dirty laundry on the forums, this isn't a personality contest, and calling someone a garbage person makes you no better than the person who 'tried to insult' you.
2. If you have a suggestion how Lichess can be improved post in the Lichess Feedback forum.
Now you've made accusations in public that will put unfair assumptions in people’s minds of me, I have to spend time refuting them dont I.
Asking for takebacks is not a crime, I prefer them to play an interesting game, if you dont want to be asked, turn them off - easy. [1] I see the clock as advisory when seeking opponents, for how long roughly would like the game to go on for, I dont get matched with anyone who needs 10 minutes if I seek a 3+2 minute game, but I'm happy to add time midgame so you dont lose on time, so the person with the best board strategy wins out. [2] [3]
Banning anyone automatically who uses a naughty word is a ridiculous suggestion, go into kids mode if you wanted to be treated as a child.
"If someone loses their game and says "fuck"... that's fine. Even stuff like "you suck" is acceptable (to me, at least). Horrible sportsmanship to say that, but it's not a comment that someone should take to heart." [4]
You messaged me to tell me how I should conduct myself in a game, and I jokingly cast you off with 'go suck a fuck (jokes)'; a nonsensical cult film joke from the film Donnie Darko, literally with the word 'jokes' in brackets next to it, then explained it to you in the next message.
Next I signed out to show you I was done communicating and entered my other account and started seeking games, you accepted, we played 5 games, when I was finished whooping you, I let you know who had beat you with a celebratory 'go suck a fuck :P'.
Just a bit of competitive rivalry, I dont have anything against you, and see my comments as jokingly using swear words, and definitely no more than 'you suck' which is allowed according to Lichess question and answer.
As for multiple accounts the mods know about me and have just asked me to only have 1 account in the top 10 at any one time to give others a chance, to which I agreed.
"You can have 2-3 account if you don't play between them and if you do something different in each account." [5] "we will not just close an alternate account that does the same as the main account, unless the number of accounts is unreasonable or some kind of rule-breaking happens through these accounts." [6]
So now you've ignited a shit-storm by dragging my name through the mud with calls to decency about language, takebacks and time controls, and I've further fuelled the fire by defending myself and these divisive personal preferences. Let the flaming begin, until the mods delete or seal the forum.
I'd have been perfectly happy to talk it out over private message today, and where the conversation should have stayed. I just blocked you and signed out yesterday because I wasn't in the mood. [7]

If you want to play educational game it's ok but warn before game about it, takeback is not standard game option after all.

Go suck a fuck (jokes)

Consider yourself baned, it's too low level to answer

It's from donnie darko dude, learn to take a joke, stop ascribing what is 'standard' and 'low level'.
