i lost to a cheater today !!!

hELLO EVERYBODY

Today i was notified that i lost to a cheater some 5 hours ago .

Why we cant know who was the cheater ?

what lichess do to these kind of chessplayers .

I need to know who was the cheater only to see the game . I dont want to talk with the player .

Can somebody answer my questions please
hey @NADASOY23 Lichess never reveals the names / usernames of cheaters to avoid public shaming. If you got points refunded that means the player has been flagged for computer assistance. They can no longer pair with regular players, only other cheaters. Cheaters dont last long so it is likely a game you played within the last 5ish days if i had to bet.
As long as lichess shames them privately, i'm ok. but if there is no shaming going on, neither public nor private, i don't think that's right.
In some ways there is comedic shaming. Many people who get caught using an engine are confused as to why they cannot find any matches and often post about this on the forum. Then everyone gets to hear them whine about how they didn't actually cheat. Very funny stuff. just google "lichess no matches" and you should find some.
You can actually find out who the cheater by looking through your opponents in the past few days and see who have cheated as they would not be able anymore games.
