Won a rated game against Maia5 and got no rating points although my rating is lower

Anyone know why no points were awarded? I played two previous games today against Maia5 and there were points awarded:

No points awarded:



points awarded:

Yes, that confused me too!

I did post the link to the games. Lichess forum displays the game instead of the link.

But after some playing around i discovered that the three dots above one another between the backward arrow "< "and forward arrow ">" at the bottom of the game board gives you an additional menu and one of the options there is a link to the game: It is called "view on lichess"

Lichess stops awarding users points from wins against bots if you win against them multiple times to prevent farming.
i wonder how many times. And why its considered farming. If the bot is playing rated games it has that rating because of its win/loss ratio so if I beat it repeatedly it just means statistically I'm better and my rating should increase and the bots should decrease.
ok, I want the same rule to apply to my account too. If people beat me multiple times and win they are trying to 'farm me' and therefore they shouldn't get the points and more importantly, mine shouldn't go down.

lol
just kidding.

Well the bot is something that can play all the time, unlike a human
Hi @EmaciatedSpaniard

Does the win against Stockfish have points? (in "play with the computer")

Also, is the rating of the game against Stockfish like Rapid games included on the left side of the site?

That's a casual game with Stockfish Levels. If @EmaciatedSpaniard, you played with the bot, you must get points (if it's rated).
I don't think it's a big deal in winning just 2-3 points against someone. But if @EmaciatedSpaniard, you feel it much, you can report it to Lichess (if they have a option / allow us to)
