It says you violated the terms of service, not that you cheated. Did you report lots of your opponents for cheating?

You can be banned for other reasons then cheating too - did you say anything controversial in chats?

So you're saying you did have a screen like this one:

Presumably this isn't recent as it says you haven't played on lichess for 11 months.

There is more:
While i have been a club champion of the small club called Ulverston (birth place of Stan Laurel of Laurel and Hardy fame), my chess successes have been long and far between. In 1995 I was runner up in my county in England equivalent of a state in USA though slightly smaller. I followed it up with a 3rd in an under 2000 fide equivalent tourney. I seemed to be going places but it wasn't until 2012 that I entered a proper international tournament- the Welsh Championships Open and got 4 draws and lost against three superb juniors to finish with 2/7. In 2013 I entered the British Championship Open and got 3/11. 2014 saw me enter the Isle of Man Masters- a top tournament but I got soundly beaten every game to finish with just a bye and eight loses (ie 1/9). 2014 also saw the height of my achievements so far in the super rapidplay London classic top international tournament where i achieved 4/10 with no byes. to put it in perspective ex world number 5 jon speelman only got 7/10.
i recently tried to get in the northumbrian masters but they adjudged me not good enough.
and
I have beaten vallez poms 3 - 2 in 15 minute chess online, he is a 2700 fide player and i am 1 - 1 with grandmaster keith arkell again online. my best result in a proper rated game is a draw against a 2136 fide rated shami abdulleyev but i haven't played many very strong players.

One of my favourites:
no what i am saying is they wear temperature sensitive glasses and can see the physical reaction caused by the concept of conservation of energy which predicts that something destroyed even an idea takes energy to destroy and as perfect play is drawn the best move leads to less destruction hence as energy remains at zero everywhere and destroying something takes greater energy than constructing it, the energy in constructing the perfect game is less thus the temperature is less
Translate that if you dare!

John if you destroy something you attract energy is what i was trying to say which is why stolen goods are declared hot(the police know this concept) and why truth detectors depend on temperature of the skin and why hell is hot and heaven cool.

I'm not sure where to start with this nonsense so I won't bother.

Cool theory, but easily disproved. The Sun isn't destroying things, it's combining things. It combines two hydrogen atoms into a helium atom and that reaction produces enough heat to keep us alive.

Hi Chris,

So the Sun is a gigantic nuclear reactor and we are going around it!
That does not sound very safe to me. I think we should find some way of it shutting down.
(nuke it during the night so it won't see us coming.)
We don't need it. Mankind survived the Dark Ages and there was no Sun then because it was dark. I think.
