It seems to me that players aren't doing their best. My rating is skyrocketing. Are they sandbagging, and if so why?
@Lygodactylus
You can find everything about sandbagging and why some players do so here: lichess.org/qa/192/what-is-this-player-artificially-increasesdecreases-their-rating
If you think a player is a sandbagger use the lichess report form: lichess.org/report

@Lygodactylus You have to have some evidence that a player is sandbagging before you make a report
if you sandbag, you will receive a message from @lichess
If I win against a sandbagger will I lose some ratings after he gets banned ?
@savagechess2k Nope
@Alihene Yes, people who have been caught sandbagging get a message from lichess which notifies them that they have been banned.
However, players who use computer assistance get banned without the cheater knowing it. The same applies for shadow-marked users.

A question about sandbagging...
Let's say it is your awful chess day. You play horribly and lose , for example , 150 points (or more!)
Is there a danger to be considered sandbagger?

@FatesWarning no. Usually sandbaggers resign on winning positions to lose rating
