Hey I was wondering if there is any way to reset my elo in Blitz 5+3, since it got so low I'm not getting matched up anymore in quick play. And by the way, what it the range of ratings that are getting paired up for rated games on this site?
*Edit Sorry I guess I should post in the Q&A!
You have been flagged as a cheater and now you have no ratings and you are not allowed to play the tournament games.
Oh wow, I didn't even notice that until I ran a search on my account from outside. Always assumed there were no players looking for games at my rank!
It's surprisingly infuriating though. Really wish I had a way to prove that I didn't use even a single engine move just to 'clean the reputation' and get back at whoever decided to flag me!
Even though I have basically no investment in this account, it still feels like the games where I did well and that I'm proud of are getting discredited so hard..
The mark is without doubt correct.
Second opinion - you definitely cheated. :(
So I had a look at my games two years ago and you are right, sorry about that!
If it counts for anything just now I genuinely didn't remember cheating back then.
Lyvz: I am not involved in the process at all and I am not a very good player myself. However, looking at your games I think the following two games are the more suspicious:
en.lichess.org/rU8pE8sV#41en.lichess.org/Q2BDKv4N/black#42in both cases you have 0.05 acl and quite complicated positions... I certainly can't play like that. Not sure if those games had anything to do with your flagging, however, I hope you can see why they look suspicious. If you are a very good player (or very lucky) perhaps some can offer you advice on how to appeal.
Hey, thanks for taking the time and effort to reply Dixie2011, but I'm sorry I think I wasted your time!
At first I had a look at the game vs. ifigenio (after being told I had been flagged). I noticed the computer analysis, but all of the moves seemed straightforward or at least plausible to me now, although I don't remember ever playing the 1. kf3 d5 2. d4 bf5 opening.
Then I checked the other game and I definitely wouldn't have played that game, so right now I'm just pretty embarrassed.
This guy got flagged as a cheater for two games he played one and a half year ago?
