policy against insults?

What is lichens policy against players that have absolute no respect? I got insulted for winning, reported, and the moron is still playing on lichess.

I'm pretty soft when it comes to dealing with people insulting others, namely because it's the internet. So if win and someone's screaming me that I'm a dirty cheater... meh, I grin at his typically terrible spelling and leave the game.

Other harsher insults/threats/just stupid things to say are different.

When you report someone, the mods see the report, review the communications of the user and take action (either chat-ban or leave him be) depending on whether they feel the insult deserves any attention.

So, even if the mod who dealt with your report chat-banned him, he'll still get to play on lichess; he just won't be able to chat.

Hope this answers your question.
Lichen's policy is for you to turn chat off, ignore it, block user, make a counter argument insulting your opponent's obese mother, and/or growing thicker skin.
I get disrespected, called a cheat, insulted in more ways than one by the anonymous community all the time. I have yet to come across a user with an account that insults like the anons do. But there are a few users that are not so nice but I would not call it insulting.
Chat ban is a good solution indeed. Thanks for the answers.

I wish those people were marked, though. I don't want to play with some player that insulted another one. There are so many nice players here, lichess can afford to spot the unpleasant ones.
