He joins tornaments but never plays ?
This question was previously asked, and the topic was closed without response or consideration.
lichess.org/forum/lichess-feedback/who-is-l-____-l#1
I've spent a bit of time thinking about it, and just searched for my original thread, with the intent of asking again.
The original forum was "Feedback."
Closure of that topic, by an admin or moderator, was improper in the first place.
There is a definite problem with the LiChess systems and/or software if a player can join tournaments, multiple tournaments simultaneously, but never play in any of them. Further, when I check a user's profile throughout tournaments, there is a green dot if the player is online. This player's "dot" is not green, but blank most of the time when I check it -- meaning "offline," but joined to a tournament, and not playing games.
My first suspicion is that this is some sort of administrative or moderator account. And, if that's the case, then there's nothing wrong with it being joined, monitoring, but not an active participant.
On the other hand, the lack of being able to articulate such usage -- an active player account that also doubles as some sort of automation tool -- clearly means that LiChess is not being honest and forthcoming about the rules it puts forth for all other active accounts, players and participants. (Which is then, in turn, rather suspect...)
My only other suspicion, outside of an admin or moderator account, is that it is a duplicate account for a highly rated GM or well known person in the chess world.
But the latter speculation doesn't account for how a player who is offline is able to join tournaments and never play in those tournaments, which then leads back to there being something wrong with LiChess' software systems.
@Roaringroars21 -- Thanks for being (at least) the second person to observe and post about this. Maybe it gets a response, or LiChess fixes its broken systems???

I don't really get that logic. So someone joins random tournaments, because of that they must be a mod and lichess broken? What? (also makes that supposed automation tool downvote random forum posts? :D )
Well in the team lichess.org/team/-dimitar--friends- this player is listed as a NM @SJCVChess and @Roaringroars21 ... But I don't know actually who is it ... I think he joins all the arenas just to gain followers ...
I find this to be a bit mysterious
He is in every arena but never plays, don't really know much about him

i will not state my opinion cause of my fear of offending any side, but i would like to put out that i believe this is not a lichess problem, and rather a player problem, oh dear, i probably offended someone by saying this, well whoever gets offended by this or disagrees, well, i'm sorry
A top player who didn't play in tourneys all the time. Paused himself. To get tourney points.
In anticipation that this gets closed without an appropriate answer from admins and/or mods, and just to see exactly how suspicious the situation is, I've also posted it over in the "Off-Topic Forums"
The one I made over in "Feedback" was closed without a response. I would suspect that this gets closed, too.
And, I would suspect that the one I've created in Off-Topic gets closed without an appropriate response as well...
