I would like to file a complaint

You seem to continue to miss the point of what I'm referring to aggressive. I don't care what you call someone who files a report. But stating explicitly that filing a report is all it takes to get someone a mark is a gross exaggeration. I would imagine probably 99% of people reported for cheating don't ever get a mark, even when multiple reports are filed. It is only when there is conclusive evidence generated that a moderator is supposed to flag. There have been a few cases of moderators "making a mistake" and lifting the mark only to have their initial marking validated after another month or two of hard evidence.

You don't have to see this evidence. You aren't a moderator so you don't have access. When a mark is in error, it gets resolved. Many may claim not to be cheating but are sly about it and will continue to deny it when caught. There is no realy way for the average user to know one way or the other, but I'm sure a lot of people could point you toward hundreds of games where users miraculously match every single move of the engine. There are even instances where players have been dumb enough to play Stockfish from a position in another tab and mimic every one of those moves in their game. Or players with games over 40 moves with 0 errors and under 10 ACL with all movetimes under 20 seconds and no extra time spent on critical positions who then go on to lose games against players 500 or more below their level spending a great deal of time on simple moves that a first year player would find and then run the clock out only to return back to perfect form the very next game a minute later. There's plenty of evidence of cheaters existing. It isn't some kind of conspiracy just because a couple people have recently been possibly marked by a (likely) reasonable error.

But I'm not gonna argue anymore. Again, the mods will sort out if/when there are false positives.
We've seen evidence of non-cheaters getting flagged but no evidence of cheating. I'm not saying it's a conspiracy, just a buggy system.

All you've done is support my argument that it's imaginary by accusing me of cheating and then admitting that I'm not. I'm surprised you can't seem to appreciate the irony.
I'm appreciate even more the irony of you getting the irony of it yet missing the fact it was meant to be ironic.

As for evidence, onsidering you've only played 135 games and have only 20 tournament points with a rating as high as yours leads me to believe you don't play in the hourly classical or blitz tournaments much, which is where you will undoubtedly find your evidence. Try playing more in the arena and you'll find the cheaters you seek.
I have 10K games on chess.com (same username), I often click on my opponents profile while I'm playing, it's surprising how many non-cheaters are accused of cheating. I've never seen any evidence despite thousands of false accusations, so I rationally conclude that it's merely sore-loser syndrome in action.

It could well be that there are cheaters around every corner like you seem to believe but the *complete* lack of evidence makes it unlikely. Theories need to be provable, that's how science works. Otherwise we are in the realm of superstition.
I'm on the side with pguardiario. There is something wrong here, I was wrongfully flagged and I used to enjoy playing on Lichess.org but now I'm beginning to regret this decision to play on here. I would like to ask for my flag to be removed once more please. There is something wrong here and it needs to be fixed >:(
I can see several games in your recent history that certainly raise my eyebrows.
Can you link to them? I didn't happen to notice any suspicious games.
@DunnoItAll and @Bezzer - make sure you know what you're looking for. The cheat detector is looking at things like blur rates (whatever that is) and deviation in move times.

Problem is, a real cheater who knows that can beat it, so it ends up only flagging non-cheaters.
