Using an engine?

I just played someone who suggested I was using a chess engine, which I don't. They said that in my profile it said 'this player uses chess software' or something like that. I've clicked on my profile and don't see anything like that. Am I missing something? Where in my profile would I find a comment like that? Could someone check and see if it says that? If it does say that then how do I get it cleared off? Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheaters who get caught get there profile marked that way. Your profile is clean.
Cheater, anyone? Because many times the first to accuse others of cheating is...that's right, another cheater. They just want to win at any cost, hence they cheat and if that's not enough they resort to dirty tactics like in ops case.
They want to put you off, fair and square (particularly if you play well against them) and they don't shun any tactic in doing so.

That's at least what i have noticed at my brief tenure here on lichess, with no prior experience of online-chess (or any online-gambling for that matter).

What do you guys think?
I don't like how account restrictions aren't transparent, but if you report the account for abuse in chat and link to the game in the report, their account could be shadow banned. If they get shadow banned they won't know it and won't be able to adjust their behaviour, they might not even realise it's abusive to accuse someone of cheating.

They have a big spike of negative emotion from realising they are about to lose and impulsively act on the emotion by lashing out at you. It's wrong of them, but everyone can learn how to not act impulsively on emotions. It's not possible to learn if you don't know what you're doing is wrong.
