Lies from Lichess.

The following Lie was sent to me from the people running Lichess. This is enough to close my account over.
They kickout people who are not rich, by repeatedly lying to us with the pop-up: "you're bad, your leave games, we must punish you to protect other players". I suggest everyone with a fast connection also close their account because real chess is not bad like Lichess: you're score is not higher if you have more money, and poor people *are* allowed to play it without being harrassed with lies labeling them "rule breakers". Here's what Lichess website owners spout to people who's only actual "crime" is having a cheap internet connection:
"
Sorry :(
We had to time you out for a while.

The timeout expires in 4 minutes.

Why?
We aim to provide a pleasant chess experience for everyone.
To that effect, we must ensure that all players follow good practice.
When a potential problem is detected, we display this message.

How to avoid this?
Play every game you start.
Try to win (or at least draw) every game you play.
Resign lost games (don't let the clock run down).
We apologize for the temporary inconvenience,
and wish you great games on lichess.org.
Thank you for reading!
You're doing all this mess for 4 minutes? Really? Btw all your speech is nonsense.
The solution here is to stop aborting tons of games. Your past 6 games you have either aborted or not started. You received a warning, now read it, and heed its contents and you should not run into this issue in the future.
Just once, I'd like someone to call the site Liechess when they are accusing lichess of lying. It seems so obvious.
@TCF_Namelecc You post is incorrect. Do you care about doing such a thing when you write? No one using my computer, *even* you, can finish a game when the screen says "Reconnecting". @Deadban "Btw all your speech is nonsense." It is called English, and more people use it than Italian. Most science is written only in English. This is not called "speech" but "written word", "speech" refers to the sound made while talking. And "nonsense" means having no data or informational content, not "shut up" as you thought.
If your connection is the problem, that's not lichess's problem. How is lichess supposed to tell the difference between your wifi cutting out and you rage-quitting quitting the browser? To lichess (and to your opponent!), they look the same.
@TCF_Namelecc your obviously correct but I think the issue lies in the loss of games due to wifi in general. I think it should be removed. In a otb if you can walk away and let your clock run and theres nothing anyone can due about it. I think the wifi thing isnt something that you did intentionally and sometimes you need 5 minutes to fix it. You're time should just be run down and you lose that way. And at the end of the game maybe you get a warning like you normally would for stalling.
