Can you get banned on lichess?

If you are banned you need to use lichess.org/appeal. It is only allowed to create a new account to use it for good reasons. For example: a berserk account to berserk all the time, a blindfold account to play blindfold. This is because if you do these on your main account you will lose a lot of rating points.

What does cheat detected in lichess mean?

Sorry, if I am questioning against Lichess Policies. nooboss 1 year ago. 'Cheat detected' means, your opponent had the analysisboard with the same position as the current game and with activated engine on another tab opened. This could be an accident, that's why he is not banned.

How do I know if my lichess account is banned?

You can tell if someone is shadowbanned if their history tells that they're trying to post, but the posts are not visible and accessible. Otherwise the chatban is not visible to anyone (including the banned person who thinks that everything's normal). If that guy also got banned for foul play, it's just a coincidence.

How do lichess find cheaters?

Otherwise it's generally an analysis of where you played accurate moves, how many in a row, how long you took over them, etc. Many cheats don't cheat every game or every move, but just a few moves in the middle-game to swing it in their favour. They are harded to detect but they get caught all the time.
