Or you may THINK you played more than 5

In summary you're complaining that Lichess isn't doing anything about the reports that you are not sending because Lichess does not do anything in the first place.

This might be true, but considering 5 bil games have been played how many can lichess go though?
The only basic way lichess might be able to find out is by reports, And it IS the reason why the report feature was made

Kramnik, is that you?

Forget online chess rating...doesn't brings you anywhere near hikaru....focus on fide OTB tournament...

Ohh Lichess Mods I would like to know my cheater report's statistics, I'm pretty confident that 90-100% of the ones I reported got banned!

*I'm a sharp shooter you know?*

I've played a 20+ move Stockfish line that I've studied before and just crush stronger opponents in a perfect game: It's easy because I could tell my opponent made a mistake when they deviated so I just had to look for the 1-2 moves to punish that.

If you faced such a player you would obviously assume cheats (10 centipawn loss, 30 move in a Bullet game!). A Mod can see: "Of course this guy would play a perfect game, he's already played that same line 20 times before!"

I don't report because I am too lazy to describe why I think so lol.

Why don't you write to lichess about that?

I fully agree. I'm exactly the same. Lichess just doesn't care about cheaters therefore the cheaters have won. Congrats lichess on building a site that is terrible to play on.

@elodecline, they simply just lie about the reports. I have seen it done by mods multiple times now. They simply just don't want to solve the problem and keep sticking their head in the sand.
