Lichess is Playing Games w/ My Account

<Comment deleted by user>
Dear theater owner,

I am a part-time movie reviewer, and have over 2 million subscribers. When I try to drive to your theater, I am often blocked by road construction. I have been blocked 8 times over three days. This is not a glitch (though it may be 8 glitches), and is unacceptable. If you don't allow me to watch movies when they are shown, I will retaliate.

> This has been happening to me over the past few days, but when I am winning and the game is just about over, I go to make a move and I am frozen from moving any pieces. I am playing on my phone, and have a perfect connection. This is not a glitch as it's happened the same exact way to 8 games over 3 days.

you have an active online community with 2 million members, yeah right
All fun and games until it happens to you. I guess they don't want me to cross over into 1800 plus. No one to report this to, as they hide behind their servers. They have 24 hours to respond or I will take this public.
OP clearly memeing, it is really funny to think that if a doctor was negligent and allowed a patient to die, you'd "blame him" LMAO it's his choice, doctors having to perform surgery is literally slavery. Freedom is about respecting when others choose to abuse their power for arbitrary reasons

Isn't this already public? I saw it. And I'm nobody.

It's true. Once you cross over into 1800-plus you develop special senses and you're able to understand many new secrets. It's just too dangerous to Lichess for somebody with 2 milllion at their beck and call to unlock this knowledge.

I can't get past 1800 either, probably because Lichess doesn't think I'm a suitable person to be aware of their hedgehog sacrifice rituals that take place behind the servers.
..."doctors having to perform surgery is literally slavery" What world are you living in? LMFAO. Is it too much to ask that a community of chess loving players respect each other? And how about respect from the community leaders? The fish rots from the head down. Here's how Lichess communicates to its members:

1. Someone is beating you and starts telling you how you suck, so you let the time run down. A warning is sent from Lichess with a time out, and no one to respond to about what happened.

2. You're trying to move but your reception is bad and you've lost your connection. Another warning for abandoning a game (even when you were winning), with no one to respond to.

3) And then there's this one sent back in February: "We noticed a pattern of aggressively asking for takebacks in your communication. This is a reminder that nobody is obligated to grant you a takeback. By asking for a takeback you are solely relying on your opponent's courtesy, so them rejecting your request is not bad sportsmanship. On the other hand, it IS inappropriate on your part to criticize them for it. Please keep this in mind in the future."

I actually agree with them on this, however, this was very arbitrary and once again, no one to plead my case to. Whomever viewed my account and made the decision to send me this notification is making it their opinion and once again, hiding behind servers so that I can't even respond to since I don't agree with their take as that wasn't actually what happened.

But they've clearly made up their mind to play games with my account instead of being forthright with me. Why allow me to play a game and only freeze me when I am about to win? Why not just tell me that as per ABC, we're giving you a temporary and/or permanent ban? And I am not the only one. Just Google lichess and freezing. I guess a game site enjoys playing games. They need to be called out for this as unsportsmanship is a 2-way street.
