Letting a friend play on your account

@Newtochess102326 said ^

I reported this as cheating, but nothing has been done. Is this even considered cheating?

It is considered cheating. There can be many different reasons why nothing has been done.

@Newtochess102326 said ^

He blatantly admitted this, or his friend did in the lichess chat.... So is that not proof enough when he admits to this?

Indeed. Players say a lot of things in chat, and we do not usually take their word for it.

Can you give me your opponent's ID?

Please do not give your opponent's ID to other players.

I will also report him for cheating

Please do not report someone for cheating because you heard someone claim that they cheat. Only report players that you suspect yourself, independent of claims made by third parties.

Yea it doesn't seem like anything was done, so I guess Lichess doesn't enforce the rule much on people having their stronger friends play on their account, especially since he admitted to this in lichess's own chat. Oh well, now I know some rules are enforced more than others :D
