Reports in lichess

I just experienced a very annoying and sadly common thing in lichess, and I would like to hear your opinion on it. As a fast chess enjoyer and main player, I have lots of experience and developed a decent speed. Despite being 100% legal without any lag or anything that gives an advantage, it seems players report me way too often for playing "fast" or "accurate" when only with a few tens of a second. This had previously resulted into me getting falsy muted for being a "bad sport" and I am worried that I could get punished because of some, but many, wrong reports from players who cant accept a legal defeat.
Do you also experience that and how does lichess deal with that??

If you don't use any illegal programs or tools, you have nothing to fear, even if people report you.

This has never happened to me, so I must admit to being, in this case, slower.

Consider re-reading the lichess user agreement.

I'm sure, you had not been muted for playing fast and accurate.

True. Your most recent game against the 2691 DOES give evidence of that. Who plays so fast?? And how do u manage to play SO MANY moves in just 5 seconds?? If I had been ur opponent, I would have done just the same. And remember, ur speed is more than "decent", its quite fast, as fast as SF 8 when its in time pressure.

I am 100% positive that I had not violated anything, but just got multiple times reported falsely.

You don't get banned if someone merely reports you. You get banned if moderators deem you have violated lichess.org/terms-of-service

Being muted has nothing to do with your quality of play; it has to do with your use of communications on this site.

If you wish to avoid being muted in the future, don't abuse the communications features. This could include trash talking or generally being offensive, even if in response to cheating allegations.

I think that right there is the trigger, I try to not abuse anything but cant help myself when people accuse me. Thats what I watned to mainly share and got misunderstood
