I can't recover my account

@potatothing said in #9:

Wait I am confused, wasn't opperwezen's account closed before? How did it got reopened? And I think someone asked for their account to be closed, which it was, but then some time later it was reopened, how did those 2 cases happen?

From lichess.org/account/close:

If you have closed your account but changed your mind, you still have a chance to get it back. This will only work once. If you close your account for the second time, it will be impossible to get it back.

You can reopen your closed account. But only once.

De lichess.org/account/close :

Você pode reabrir sua conta encerrada. Mas apenas uma vez.

Exactly. I only closed my account once. And I'm not getting her back.

I think Xanify reopened his account twice though... I might be wrong and it may only be once.

No, Lichess always had this rule. Some time ago there was a bug just, some players could reopen their accounts more than once. There were few cases only. But it seems about a year ago that bug was fixed. At least, in 2021 I do not see such messages anymore.

I agree

Its not confusing; you can reopen your account once, after you've closed. Only ONCE.

Either @MeloKev has closed the account two times or he could have violated ToS and cant open it.

Yes it is. If Lichess says you can reopen your account only once but you can reopen your account twice — it’s a bug. It should work exactly how it says. Otherwise there is no sense.
