Notification about games lost to a cheater

Thanks for the excellent job you guys have been making on developing the lichess site.

I have some suggestion about the subject above.

Please:
- add the game link which i lost to a cheater.
- notify me, also, when I won to a cheater

And what is more of my concern on "points recovering"

are the amount of points recovered added up to my actual rating? or are they added to my points 'then' when i actually lost em.?
Maybe i had my best score 'then' on that moment, so getting em now would be useless.
if internet points matter to you, you are the one who needs to change.
Yes @amazingname is correct. If it matters so much to you then just know you got something back.

However, showing who cheated could be a useful addition. I have gotten the notification and have been confused because I didn’t think I was playing a cheater and have been curious about which game I played a cheater. This type of notification would be useful for sure and would save me from scrolling through my losses looking for the game.
#1 Thanks for the suggestion. Not gonna happen (Lichess avoids actively identifying cheaters). Sorry.
@AlvaroMCA @James369

There is a way in which you could identify the cheater you lost too. It's not 100% reliable but works most of the time. Lichess does tell you how many points you got refunded. So, look for games where you lost that amount of rating. When you find one, look at the opponent's profile, if it has a red flag in it then you've found the cheater, otherwise it means the cheating was in a game with someone else. Hope that helps :)
