Have I been added to an unspoken blacklist?

I play regularly, sometimes I encounter suspiciously strong play from my opponents, I send reports, but over the past year and a half, Lichess has not banned anyone from whom I sent a report. This surprises me, because in the first year after the start of active play on Lichess, according to my reports, several players were banned per month. Do I understand correctly, I was added to the blacklist and my reports are simply not considered? I'm willing to accept that none of my opponents were cheaters, but if you have blacklisted me, please let me know here or via private message.

guess you should do that.

There is basically no full blacklisting unless you completely abuse the report feature. If you report every person you ever lose to, then your reports are given low priority and end up basically ignored, but you state this is not really the case, so ...
#1 asked to contact them in private which I will do.
So it should be resolved soon; I am closing this topic.
Reportban is an option that we are using rarely - for example if someone reports multiple players with a wording "please ban them" without an explanation what for.
In that sense happy chess playing and all best :-)

Edit: one cannot send a fair play report under cheat category without including at least one game link into the report.
So, some people outsmart the system by reporting under communication without linking the game but simply writing "please ban them, this user is a cheat". That 100 times. After each game they lose = reportban.
