Team Invitations In Chat is Highly Annoying

#1
Hello!

I'm writing because I would use my chat to interact only with my students and friends.

The problem is that I get messages like: "Hi, please join my team (XY)!".

Even more annoying is when they only say "Hi!" without clearifying their real intention. If I'm lucky: just a message from new student (rare occassion). Reality: just a new frustrating team invitation.

What to do? Can I report such users? Is there a solution to separate team invitations and chat interactions? (e.g. on chess.com you can disable team invitations)

Help is appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Yes, you can report players who send you unsolicited team invitations.

Can I report them here maybe? I tried to report them the usual way but I don't think it worked.

#3 Reporting here won't work as public shaming isn't allowed. Report them using lichess.org/report

You won't necessarily be notified if an action is taken
From lichess.org/page/report-faq:

"What happens to my report?

If you report someone on Lichess your report will be forwarded to the moderators. This process might take a day or two. The moderator then will look at your report and decide if there need to be actions taken. They may send a warning for first time offenses or minor offenses. They might ban someone if they are cheating or chatban people that are ignoring warnings or are highly offensive.

Do I get informed about the actions taken?

You might get a notification if somebody you reported is banned. You will not get notifications about any other actions taken. So there might have been a warning without you getting informed about it. Getting no notification doesn‘t mean the report was dismissed or not looked at. There is no need to send a second report about the same infraction. It will not be seen at faster nor will it make a ban more likely."
