I am not responsible...

Today I received this message (see below).
It is not my fault if some opponents disconnect or let running time. I didn't EVER participate to those behaviors, and I don't deserve seeing my account restricted.
Thank you.

In your game history, you have several games where the opponent clearly has intentionally lost against you. Attempts to artificially manipulate your own or someone else's rating are unacceptable.

If this behaviour continues to happen, your account will be restricted.

#1 I am not a moderator, but would encourage reading lichess.org/terms-of-service

I guess these are more or less automated, but I hope your account won't be closed if you follow fair-play.

Good luck ;)

I think it's automated.
Not your fault if someone want to kill his rating !

Hey there, dear @TchoukTchoukNougat!
Indeed you are responsible - you are seeking rated antichess games in 0+2 and your poor opponents forfeit on time in less than 5 moves while they are desperately looking for a legal move there.
I can imagine how they feel, trying to move and miss the possible capture - bam, game over...

Please worry about nothing - the message you have got is an automatic one, here is a system which runs over all games and gets triggered if you gain points after winning short games and sends this message out.
Sadly, that happens often enough in variant games, for example there is an mate in 3 in atomic or sometimes one can get into a mess and has to resign in chess960 very early in the opening.

Upon you getting banned, a human will look at your games and check your history and notice what kind of games you were playing and that you were just “lucky” to get free points from different people which you obviously dont know...
You are fine - and all best!

It seems like those "people that intentionally lost against you" simply didn't read up on the rules of antichess. I think the system should be a bit more lenient in variants like antichess and atomic, where it is not uncommon for new players to lose within a few moves.

I received the same warning. It usually happens to me in more correspondence games than my opponent -generally one without an established rating- makes a single move and then leaves the game and does not move again, which is quite annoying. But that's not my fault and I don't know how to prevent that from happening. Maybe adjusting the rating range of my rivals will solve it. Or playing only friendly games. It would be a shame to be penalized for something that I cannot solve from my account. Greetings.

Thank you all of you for your answers. Indeed, I like playing Antichess in 0/2, but it gives good games with players above 1400... :-) Well, let's go for new adventures and thanks again !

I got the same message. I was playing rated games against random people, many of which would quit in the first few moves. In the future, I will only play rated games against users I trust are serious. I get that lichess wants to protect the integrity of their system, but if they're actually restricting accounts of well intentioned users, that's an over correction.

Just got the same message/warning.

I always follow fair play, so it' s really rediculous to be held responsible for other players behaviour.

I think it' s time to review their policy on people who lose intentionally.
