Hi, @maestroask, can you please explain why all your Lichess accounts were closed?
Would also be interesting for the other tournament host, @samostically.
Hi. Strange events are happening on Lichess right now. Yesterday, three of my accounts (out of 6) were closed for multiaccounting, although there was no strict prohibition on having multiple accounts before, if there are reasonable reasons for this. Today, some fraudster is writing to the captains of the teams from the account "Kireev_ko" created by him, allegedly on my behalf. I have already written to Lichess support regarding the closed accounts, and sent a complaint about the fraudster, but there are no answers yet. I will try to restore my closed accounts, but with the speed of Lichess support, I'm afraid the issue won't be resolved until Friday tournament. If nothing works out, I will join to the team from the Odnoobraz title account.
Thanks for you quick response. Better you play from your initial account "Odnoobraz_bcm". A user can´t switch accounts in the middle of the season just like that, as otherwise I have no clue who is playing and don´t want to request identification. Happened also to @rodrook.
By the way, there were always rules about multiple accounts on lichess saying this is not allowed. Maybe for titled players there are exceptions, but 6 different accounts seems excessive.
Of course it's better and more convenient to save "Odnoobraz_bcm" and play from it, but it's now closed, and all depend on Lichess administrators and moderators.
I was aware of the Lichess rules about multiaccounts, but it was never a strict and unambiguous prohibition. Previously, the rules even specified approximate situations: exploring a new opening, playing blind, etc., and it was said that administrators would make a decision on a case-by-case basis. So I've never hidden my accounts, as well as the reason why there are so many of them: a limit of 50 teams per account.
Lichess refused to restore my 3 closed accounts. They say that I already have several accounts, so that's enough. :(
They gave me a lot of work on sorting teams yesterday and today, which I would have been happy to do without. So I'll have to continue playing here from my titled "Odnoobraz" account, already joined team. @stayoutoftherz, @sam.chess.
Seems OK, but we need proof that Lichess really banned the account for other reasons. So please send an official screenshot from Lichess about the reason why Odnoobraz_bcm was banned! Since money is involved, we can´t allow any doubts of cheating.

Noted, thanks! For some reason I was under the assumption that you were from Venezuela :)
