Regardless of everything, may I ask how is this related to CWC tag?

inland hedge
#

Why cwc ping lol

raven kraken
#

I should remove the role perhaps soon

inland hedge
#

This role getting quite a lot of random pings

inland hedge
raven kraken
#

Okay, I ll keep it, u r right

mighty yoke
#

Crazyhouse World Championship at your service. How can I be of help?

inland hedge
#

cwc is crazyhouse world championship

raven kraken
#

I think he is right in a sense its a good way to summon many mods

mighty yoke
#

and it's a really nice colour

raven kraken
#

anyway if anyone is looking for zh960 opp 1+2 ping me

tawdry raft
#

he found the cheat code for highlighting mods, quite fitting for his post

inland hedge
#

I can’t even play atomic 960 brug

tawdry raft
#

can someone actually look at the issue being reported ?

inland hedge
#

How to play zh 960

tawdry raft
#

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

mighty yoke
#

if you have reported it, then a moderator will have reviewed or will review it

tawdry raft
#

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

raven kraken
#

OK, the thing is both of are (rosie and me) are just discord mods. But I ll pass it on to actual lichess mods

spice prism
#

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

#

I ll just keep it the way as is now, ppl seem to be in favor of having cwc ping alive feelswow

spice prism
#

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

#

🥇

raven kraken
#

who do u mean as being harassed?

spice prism
#

Pinged randomly for no reason

raven kraken
#

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

tawdry raft

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

inland hedge
#

lmao

#

as i aleady said, this role gets a lot of pings xD

#

@tawdry raft cwc is not the role to tag moderators

tawdry raft
#

which is ?

prime forge
#

only the cwc role should be able to tag cwc

#

@spice prism send help

inland hedge
#

cwc is crazyhouse world championship

tawdry raft
#

how do i ping mods?

raven kraken
#

sounds like a good idea

inland hedge
prime forge
tawdry raft
#

the way to ping mod is to use CWC tag i'm sorry but that's reality

tawdry raft
#

i'm sorry but it is extremely frustrating to witness this situation

raven kraken
#

Are u alt of Kev ?

tawdry raft
#

no, he can reply if you want

#

i just helped him writing and formatting

#

but i'm with him full hearted on the case

raven kraken
#

No, was just clarifying, cuz afaik he already contacted a mod via DMs

tawdry raft
#

it's been two days since he contacted mods and nothing happened

prime forge
#

send a clip of the stream while they are doing it perhaps?

tawdry raft
#

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

prime forge
#

no you linked a whole vod

tawdry raft
#

we made it extremely easy for you guys to work on this case

prime forge
#

you think you might have but you did not

tawdry raft
#

well because then you have full context

#

if you want short clip of it, we can do that

prime forge
#

what part of watching a 3 hour stream is easy exactly?

#

(for clarity i am not a mod)

tawdry raft
#

i figured out you weren't a mod

#

because you can't read properly and are attacking me

prime forge
#

huh? where are the attacks?

tawdry raft
#

timestamp means you don't have to watch full VOD

prime forge
#

click your link buddy

#

stream starts at 0 uptime

tawdry raft
#

i'm talking about the report

#

not the last VOD I gave here but that's because the timestamp is 0 then

prime forge
#

good luck

tawdry raft
#

likewise

raven kraken
prime forge
raven kraken
#

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.

"pion passés liés te pose pas la question"

"protected passed pawn, don't question it'

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

prime forge
#

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

queen furnace
#

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

tawdry raft
#

we already wrote two reports

queen furnace
#

and if they are, that's public shaming, which is against the rules

tawdry raft
#

they are cheating, does that mean i'm exempt ?

queen furnace
#

no

tawdry raft
#

right so

queen furnace
#

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

tawdry raft
#

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 ?

queen furnace
#

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

tawdry raft
#

have you read this thread ? it's been a month

queen furnace
#

and if nothing changed, maybe they weren't cheating

tawdry raft
#

there's no debate whether they are cheating or not

queen furnace
prime forge
#

MIGHT be banned? change that to most likely

tawdry raft
#

i'm just asking questions because i don't see anything happening

queen furnace
#

yeah just because you can't see that anything happened doesn't mean nothing has

tawdry raft
queen furnace
#

because you're not supposed to talk about it on discord

#

I know a 5 year-old with better reading comprehension

prime forge
#

you have been given answers to your questions and are still spamming thats how

queen furnace
#

you got mute perms?

prime forge
#

i do not unfortunately

queen furnace
#

fwiw half of CWC people do

tawdry raft
#

🤣

prime forge
#

yes 😄 everyone thinks we are mods

queen furnace
#

half of cwc people are

prime forge
#

true

queen furnace
#

but you're not exclusively

#

I can see where the confusion would come from

tawdry raft
#

or is that not possible either?

queen furnace
#

I can also tell you that you'll get banned if you keep talking about it

tawdry raft
#

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

queen furnace
#

no worries, have a good day. Please refrain from complaining about people you're reporting in the future

tawdry raft
#

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

queen furnace
#

generally one report is enough. The more times you report, the lower on the list your new reports go

tawdry raft
#

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 ?

queen furnace
#

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

tawdry raft
#

Yes, I would like to, please reach out to me or OP, looking forward to your message, good day

mighty yoke
#

@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 pepefunny

narrow frost
#

I've made a first report a few weeks ago
that's not what I see. The only report is from one hour ago.

mighty yoke
#

Interesting

#

Thanks for responding Thibault

tawdry raft
#

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

narrow frost
#

No, there has only ever been one cheat report about that player and it was made today.

spice prism
#

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

tawdry raft
#

the reports made were spaced out by approximately a week though

#

but you might be right still

narrow frost
#

Ah, Cormac is right, indeed multiple reports by the same person about the same player are merged together as a single report.

tawdry raft
prime forge
#

? 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

spice prism
#

clearly they were unaware it worked that way. The lichess team will deal with this now

tawdry raft
#

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.

tawdry raft
#

the user got banned, thank you very much.
