Less opacity in the reporting process

> Yeah we don't need a witch hunt against people that cheat. That would be really mean. The last thing we want is people upset at the cheaters for being screwed out of rating and wanting to be compensated for it. Just have faith that the staff handles it effectively over a month later.

You for got some pretty important words there:

We don't need (nor want) a witch hunt against people that _just are accused of cheating, without any proof_.

That's kind of what "witch hunt" means. And no, we certainly don't want that.

Yeah. Someone might be burned at the stake. Remember the famous Chess Cheating Massacre of 1409? Someone got called a cheater and mobs of people went on a hysteric rampage across entire nations.

Give me a fucking break. Witch hunts. What's gonna happen? "hey guys X is a cheater!" and then what? Fucking nothing. What do you think, people are gonna start storming Lichess users' homes with torches because of accusations of cheating?

> Yeah, it's this suggestion again.

Which one exactly ? Enlighten me from your awareness, please.
If those suggestions continue to pop up, maybe it's because of their relevance. :))
Someone I reported & blocked in july for cheating suspicion and wasn't worried in any way by Lichess, was taken down for TOS violation a few days ago. One more time.
