How does Lichess determinate if someone is a cheater?
So every now and then i come across (what i assume to be) a cheater. The main indicator being they play waaaaay too good for their elo and annihilate me mid game to late game.
I regularly check my analysis board after a game of Rapid (not only to improve for future games but) to see how the opponent plays decent then switches up to going for the perfect moves at a certain point. Now i know that everyone has some good and bad days but its pretty unusual with some players and their match history.
I obviously report suspicious behavior with a comment. I've actually managed to get some elo points refunded. You report someone and a few days later you get points back with a notification. I'm kinda sad as there is no real explanation given.
I also sometimes check the time a player needs to make a move. That's a strong indicator that they are cheating especially if it's a no brainer f.e. to take a pawn that's just sitting there undefended and they opt to move their rook to some "random" position which makes no sense to me (at my humble 1400~ rating). But i've been thinking about it a lot recently, especially this week.
I checked games of mine and i've noticed sometimes during mid-game I regularly take roughly the same amount of time to make a move. Obviously not 10moves in a row with the same time but it does look suspicious.
Also there are days where I win 10 games and have 0 loses which makes my match history look weird f.e. jumping up from 1342 to 1398 Rating in 2 days then needing 15 days to get up to 1450. Am I in danger of getting a ban if someone reports me if they feel salty after a match? I'm honestly just curious how Lichess manages to actually find cheaters and not get rid of real players.
Thanks in advance for clafiying!

Please help me find the person who made this Art!
Dear Animal Crossing community,
i need help finding the person who made this Artwork for me... Her name is Elegant Possum and she made this in 2019. On a piece of a5 paper titled Tias Cafe.
Back when reddit still had secret santa, i would join various ones. I received a beautiful Cyrus crotcheted Doll, the money bag includig a pitfall (also a fossil i cant find rn) and this beautiful drawing. I kept this drawing in a binder for years. At one point i made a big mistake and displayed it on the wall next to my window. Just with a piece of tape as i didn't want a crazy border around it.
Here's where disaster happens. Today i took a look at my wall and saw the Art wasn't hanging on the wall anymore ;_; i was confused why it would be gone... I took a look around and even cleaned my room. I couldn't find ti as i thought it dropped down somewhere. To my surprise it wasn't in my room but on the roof gutter.............. I'm assuming over the span of 2 years the glue on the tape loosened and during the rainy windy weather (in the past two weeks or so) it got blewn off the wall and ended up there. I only was able to see it as i was checking out the window to see if the trash collectors took away my bags or not and randomly spotted it.
Now it is ruined. Stains from the debris and moss it was laying in. Paper is hardened and curled. You can make out what used to be there but these dirty spots look like a void. I'm honestly heartbroken and this was my favorite piece to display. Many people have came and seen this and loved it. I would like to get in touch an ask her to make a new on as a commission but i couldn't find a matching reddit profile. Maybe it wasn't the same username as the Secretsanta Redditgifts homepage back then. Unfortunately as the site is inactive i also cannot reach out to anyone from the past anymore unfortunately.
If you reached readig through all this please help me find her! Maybe someone knows her maybe someone recognizes the handwriting? I know she defintely played Pocket camp so i'm sure she might be active here or have played other games of the series.

Can anyone help with this error message VAN-81? The official support isnt doing much....
So i tried logging in after a few months and i cant get past this error message. I cant open the game and skip the cinematics, but after that the VAN -81 Message appears and it blocks me from getting my rewards or playing the game. The Support site seems to be ridden with AI answers and no real humans.
I tried the steps from my support ticket: restarting pc and router, reinstalling the game, flushing my dns, making sure no vpn is on. I honestly dont know what to do anymore its been 3 days since i tried to hop on.
