I feel like they should give a warning to whoever made the illegal move, as well as 1 minute extra to the opponent. If the same person makes another illegal move, then and only then should they lose the game. What are your thoughts on this idea, OP? Arbiters also do this in OTB tournaments.

I agree with you, even though one can say that a loss due to an illegal move online is too harsh, considering how many beginners (including myself) learn chess only by playing online, yet some sort of repercussion like awarding extra time to the opponent is enough to mark the fact that illegal moves do exist and one is not allowed to make them.
Do you also feel like the "touch move" rule should be implemented?
