cheaters - chess disease

Dear Lichess, please get the cheaters off the site. There is a large invasion of cheats that destroy chess, and cancer wounds are on the site. People have started to lose their will for chess because they know they will play with a dirty player. I wish every cheater all the worst and God forbid they lose every game in life.

"People have started to lose their will for chess"

LOL!

82,654 players
34,502 games in play

People get banned for cheating here all the time. Just look at all the whining in the forums.

🧐

Hahaha that's how it should be, they should be watered with hot water

You can't get rid of cheaters. It's like the Hydra. If you cut off one head, two grow back!

They do a good job with cheaters here. I get point refunds all the time for cheating and I've never even reported anyone.

I really don't know what it is:
"You lost a cheater. Refund 5 points." You lost a cheater. Refund 8 points."
What did I wrong. What do they want from me?

@sw23456 It's pretty clear to me, despite you misquoting it. "You lost TO a cheater" means a cheater beat you and won some points. You're now getting some or all of the points back.

Lichess is quick at banning cheaters but they keep appearing

Some times I have lost to players that plays like God in the middle game. And when they have a totally winning position they play like humans again and win the totally winning position easy. When I then check their profile, They often have a puzzle rating that are very low with several hundres tries. Among those players I am totally sure there are many cheaters, that cheats in the middle game, and play human moves in the beginning, and in the end when they already wins it easy.
