Why cwc ping lol
I should remove the role perhaps soon
This role getting quite a lot of random pings
Nooo, it’s beautiful:(
Okay, I ll keep it, u r right
Crazyhouse World Championship at your service. How can I be of help?
cwc is crazyhouse world championship
I think he is right in a sense its a good way to summon many mods
and it's a really nice colour
anyway if anyone is looking for zh960 opp 1+2 ping me
he found the cheat code for highlighting mods, quite fitting for his post
I can’t even play atomic 960 brug
can someone actually look at the issue being reported ?
How to play zh 960
I prompted him to write such a report because I originally asked a moderator on this discord server if a streamer playing moves suggested from his chat was allowed or not
and they told me no it's a ban
if you have reported it, then a moderator will have reviewed or will review it
but it's been month and after 2 detailed reports with timestamp to VOD and game link nothing happened
but when ? it's been month since the two reports were made
well the first one anyway
OK, the thing is both of are (rosie and me) are just discord mods. But I ll pass it on to actual lichess mods
send me their username and i'll see if it's been looked at, is under investigation or has been missed somehow.
best I can do we don't expedite reports from messages, but occassionally something is bugged or filed wrong
you can just disable ping from everyone
if mods have some perms (not remember what is) can still ping
I ll just keep it the way as is now, ppl seem to be in favor of having cwc ping alive 
you can always tell us if you're being harassed I have pretty much all the other ones so usually if they ping a bunch of roles I get it to. It's onl;y happened like 3 or 4 times. he picked randomly and it kinda worked
🥇
who do u mean as being harassed?
Pinged randomly for no reason
ah, no no I totally don't mind pings at all, especially the CWC ones, since it brings the CWC peeps together every once in a while like good old times 🙂
you can always tell us if you're being harassed
thats a good advice tho, thnx for reminding me to do it, which I may indeed when I get a bit more time

Oops looks like I’m late to the party
hello, I'm with OP on this one.
I'm sorry I'm going to repeat things because I don't think you guys understand what's going on and how unacceptable this is. We understand moderators are not paid and that lichess is a free open source website (though with the taketaketake paternership this has changed, the userbase is now the product). This user is streaming chess on lichess everyday, everyday the chat is sending moves, everyday he reads them and uses them (when they are good). The first report was made more than two weeks ago, we waited couple of days before doing another report because lichess may be warning users as a first option. We then did a second report a week later, we got no answer from lichess, not that he has been warned, not that he has been banned, in the meantimes he is cheating everyday. Everyday the term of service of lichess doesn't change it still stipulate that cheating is not allowed, it specifically mention the streaming/chat combo.
Now it's been three weeks, as I'm writing this message, the user is streaming and cheating, people who are giving moves are his moderators mostly, they know everything about what they are doing, there's never a 'okay we put the chat in emote only' or 'okay, i'll play unrated to keep it fair'. They conscientiously cheat that way everyday. Right now as I'm writing this message the streamer just talked to one of his main moderator about the moves he was giving saying (in a vigorous, annoyed way) 'be precise god damn it i only have 1m30 left on the clock' like he wants full moves sequences spoodfed. I'm sorry but you moderators on lichess are doing absolutely nothing, the reports which have been made are crystal clear, urls and corresponding timestamp to games and VODs, there's no thinking or judging whether the user is using stockfish or not, it's about confirming that the informations in the report are made. You say to make the report in english? They have. Please wake up or make me moderator <@&1402040521249132615>
hello pls stop tagging the wrong role
lmao
as i aleady said, this role gets a lot of pings xD
@tawdry raft cwc is not the role to tag moderators
which is ?
cwc is crazyhouse world championship
how do i ping mods?
oh is that possible?
sounds like a good idea
dunno tbh but there is a moderators role, maybe that helps
yes you can allow cwc and higher permission roles to only be able to ping certain roles
the way to ping mod is to use CWC tag i'm sorry but that's reality
i'm sorry but it is extremely frustrating to witness this situation
Are u alt of Kev ?
no, he can reply if you want
i just helped him writing and formatting
but i'm with him full hearted on the case
No, was just clarifying, cuz afaik he already contacted a mod via DMs
thnx, will check soon.
it's been two days since he contacted mods and nothing happened
send a clip of the stream while they are doing it perhaps?
is it normal that it takes a month to ban a twitch streamer who is not even hiding in his cheats via his twitch chat (twitch mod eh)
we're giving url and timestamp to the VOD
that's a clip
no you linked a whole vod
we made it extremely easy for you guys to work on this case
you think you might have but you did not
well because then you have full context
if you want short clip of it, we can do that
i figured out you weren't a mod
because you can't read properly and are attacking me
huh? where are the attacks?
timestamp means you don't have to watch full VOD
i'm talking about the report
not the last VOD I gave here but that's because the timestamp is 0 then
good luck
likewise
I think I managed it, but needs to be tested
i cannot ping it
well, ok maybe we can keep it this way until next time we need the role 😛
Idk how else to have only role members to ping it.

Message from Neandertal750 at 2h36m10s
"pion passés liés te pose pas la question"
"protected passed pawn, don't question it'
2h36m19s , the streamer acknowledges and reads the message
2h36m32s Neandertal750 writes "Le pion tu ne l'arrêtes pas?"
"you're not stopping the pawn?"
2h36m54s Streamer says "Neandertal sois précis il me reste 1minute 30"
"be precise i only have 1m30 left"
2h37min01 Neandertal750 writes "et les 2 pions sont intouchables"
"and the two pawn are untouchable"
2h37min 08 Streamer says " et les 2 pions sont intouchables mais lesquels?"
"yeah but which ones are untouchable"
that's multiple cheating evidence for a single game
from today's stream
mind you this is light, but most of the time it's just blatant move like the winning move like Cd5 (Nd5)
Can a moderator acknowledge that a month to even deal with the case is way too much?
to talk about @cwc there's a lot of people
I'm going to write a new message here every day with VOD, timestamp, and game's url with blatant evidence until we get an official answer from lichess
i'll document everything and make it public that lichess's moderation is just ghost town even for rated game (yeah cause we know unrated game report just go straight to the bin)
this is unacceptable
going to talk to thibaut about this
i cannot imagine attempting to still spam the wrong role or making threats is going to help you but i know nothing and cannot read

TLDR; report them and don't talk about it here, thanks!
if they're not cheating, you could get banned from discord for being a nuisance
we already wrote two reports
and if they are, that's public shaming, which is against the rules
they are cheating, does that mean i'm exempt ?
no
right so
it means you're publicly shaming them which is against the rules
regardless of whether they're cheating or not, discord is the wrong place to talk about it
you won't get them banned by complaining here
but you might get yourself banned
i'll take the risk, i have nowhere else where to complain about this case, writing report does not seem to do anything, so in regard to that, what's my next option if not complaining about it here ?
wait up to 72 hours for lichess moderators to review the case
if you don't see anything changed, that doesn't mean nothing has
have you read this thread ? it's been a month
and if nothing changed, maybe they weren't cheating
there's no debate whether they are cheating or not
have you considered not resorting to online harassment?
MIGHT be banned? change that to most likely
i'm just asking questions because i don't see anything happening
yeah just because you can't see that anything happened doesn't mean nothing has
how am i resorting to online harassment when i'm just talking about the case ?
because you're not supposed to talk about it on discord
I know a 5 year-old with better reading comprehension
you have been given answers to your questions and are still spamming thats how
you got mute perms?
i do not unfortunately
fwiw half of CWC people do
🤣
yes 😄 everyone thinks we are mods
half of cwc people are
true
can you then check if something has happened about it and tell us ?
or is that not possible either?
Certainly. I can tell you that their case is curently being handled and that they've faced restrictions
I can also tell you that you'll get banned if you keep talking about it
I was only asking for informations about the case, had a mod said what you just said early, i wouldn't even be here, thanks for the answer
no worries, have a good day. Please refrain from complaining about people you're reporting in the future
a month without any reply from lichess officially seemed too long, that's the only reason we brought it up there on discord. We'll keep making reports about them if we continue to see they are cheating.
have a nice day as well
generally one report is enough. The more times you report, the lower on the list your new reports go
really wow. they have recently been restricted from talking in game chat because they insulted some players, i would not be pleased if that's the restriction you were referring to because that has nothing to do with the cheating report, can you answer me one last time about this ?
They receieved a time out and an official warning from lichess. Either they appealed successfully, or they didn't get their account TOS marked from being reported
I'm not able to see their TOS history at the moment, but I can reach out to you at some point in the future if you'd like to pursue any further questions. Kindly refrain from messaging in here regarding the aforementioned user
Yes, I would like to, please reach out to me or OP, looking forward to your message, good day
@tawdry raft thanks for raising this again. Unfortunately neither @raven kraken nor I nor @prime forge @queen furnace are Lichess mods and can't help you with the report. If it's in French it may take longer while they ask a French speaking mod to look at the report. OP is already in contact with @spice prism so they should be able to talk in DM .
There, I pinged everyone 
I've made a first report a few weeks ago
that's not what I see. The only report is from one hour ago.
hello @rosie, the report was made in english
thanks for looking into it @narrow frost , the report were made by @kev the OP here
it's possible that since, it was looking into and handled and therefore the report would no longer show? i don't know, as far as i can tell @queen furnace answered properly at the end
No, there has only ever been one cheat report about that player and it was made today.
I believe what's happening is every day or two you post a new report. it adds them together and updates the time stamp pushing the report to the bottom of the queue again as it appears as a new report after each.
I highlighted it to our cheat mods yesterday hopefully it will get reveiwed soon
the reports made were spaced out by approximately a week though
but you might be right still
Ah, Cormac is right, indeed multiple reports by the same person about the same player are merged together as a single report.
Cool. Today is no exception as far as violating fair play is concerned for that user, I've made a report myself this time. I'll wait 72hrs as instructed before coming back here, thanks.
? every new report pushes them down the list
you are actively sabotaging yourself lol
it is very clear lichess does not want to incentivize spamming reports for people to recieve actions
clearly they were unaware it worked that way. The lichess team will deal with this now
there's absolutely no way for us mere mortal to know how the report system is coded/handled and how successive reports are merged, seems like even thibault was unaware of this lol.
the user got banned, thank you very much.
