What are Programmatic Moves

@TheVeryHighRated said in #4:

You needed help against stockfish1?

Ofc not. The extension looks sussy so I wanted to test it. It gave me hints for moves, and I followed for around 6 moves. I stopped and made my own starting at the 7th, so I am really confused how the 8th one will lead to cheat detect (I don't expect to get banned by cheating against stockfish at first though).

Come on guys, we have not yet provided enough different definitions of Programmatic Moves. We can do better!

Here's another: Programmatic moves are ones that perform a mapping on the set of allowable piece layouts without human intervention.

Well... I hope so. Then it will lead to a good explanation of me getting banned

When people sign up for Lichess, they agree to https://lichess.org/terms-of-service and surely when players are banned, https://lichess.org/terms-of-service are mentioned.

"programmatic moves" doesn't appear in that document but if you want to know what's in the document, read it.

Recently, I created a forum in Lichess Feedback (lichess.org/forum/lichess-feedback/appeal-decision), asking how long appealing will take after getting banned because of cheating against Lichess Stockfish AI. However, I am told that cheating against stockfish will not result in a ban, so I am quite confused. I also found this: lichess.org/forum/lichess-feedback/appeal-decision . According to the rule grid, while playing against Lichess AI, everything is allowed except "Programmatic Moves" . I am wondering what Programmatic Moves are.

Rule grid: lichess.org/page/fair-play.

Lichess has made a decision, I will not be unbanned, but I can create a new account for playing in the future.
