Burn them at the stake
@jez9999
Ive always been a huge proponent of capital punishment.
I've been trying to get lichess to make its users attach electrodes to themselves in order to play.
You get caught using a engine...ZAP thats all she wrote.
Lucky for you; this is still in the works.
But someday soon....to the moon Alice.

As I have proposed on other threads, by giving players the choice to play only established players (by which I mean players with a significant number of games - perhaps 50-100 across all time limits), one can insulate established players from cheats to some extent. The 50-100 games will allow unsophisticated cheats to be detected, while at the same time raising the costs for other cheats, in that they will lose an account in which they have played many games.
Yeah, because there's no way a cheater will figure out how to play 50-100 games before starting cheating, especially if there's a xenophobic filter... /sigh
It is not a matter of crime and punishment.
It is about rules to play a game.
Maybe cheaters should not be flagged at all.
Maybe there should be 2 lichess areas, one engine assisted and one regular area without computer assistance. Every tournament is held simultaneaously in both areas. Once a player is caught using engine assistance in the regular area, he is silently promoted to the engine assisted area, without notice, without flagging. He can play in the engine assisted area of the lobby and of the tournaments. Some versions of Stockfish under some pseudonym can also participate in the tournaments of the engine assisted area.

Permanent IP ban is the only way to go. If the IP is dynamic, well, then the cheater will eventually run out of even dynamic IP adresses, or get the hint and try to play actual chess.
Cheaters try to ruin online chess. If you try to use an engine, you are scum and should never be allowed back to play chess. It's as simple as that.

Great idea! Let's ban everyone using a dynamic IP address.
Of all the ideas I've heard so far, the one I like the most is to burn them all . At least is not so stupid like the other ones.
Wishful thinking is one thing, but tracking them all down tying them to a large bit of wood and setting fire to them is a lot of work! Think of the logistics :D
I agree that a lifetime ban for cheating is too harsh. A couple of years should be sufficient. Or maybe 5 years, to stick on the safe side.
