Why should the staff be upset?
They do not like to see the users improving their skills?
What is that opening called? Also, dumb question: when you play Nc3 before Nf3, is that an open or closed Sicilian, and why?

That's a closed sicilian. The first several moves were premoved.

<Robert> how can you afford to premove in the openings?
Do you know how often I win QUEENS before move five against chess players who do?

Well, basically:
You play 1.e4, premove 2.Nc3 (which works against anything).
I saw that there was no danger in premoving Nf3 and g3, so I did that.

You are now 2224..... :/
Lesson Learned: Do NOT Play at Midnight. EPR (Extreme Rating Plunges) will occur.

I hope and believe that you know what you're doing... :-)

Oh, so THAT is the lesson?
Oh - I now see why I fell all the way to Blitz 1986...
But wait - all of my rating increases and record were also made way past midnight...
hmmmmm!!!!
Robert is now 2224 in bullet.
His opponents' average ratings are 1909.
It means he plays most of his games with lower rating players.
Then Robert's real rating is near the average of his opponents, or ~2150 in bullet.
I do it in lichess standard too, that is why my rating there is 1716 now (my opponents average are ~ 1422, then my real rating is ~ 1550).

My rating was at 1700 for about a year, and then rose extremely fast. Obviously, the statistics are skewed. I have not played anybody <2000 in the past 100 games I have played.
Yesterday, I posted about my new peak of 2305. Today, I'm proud to say I've crossed 2350!!!
