Warned for sandbagging incorrectly

I was warned for sandbagging under the fair play policy, but u was not intentionally lowering my rating. I was conducting an experiment of lower rated players, and I wanted to see how many of them missed the 2/3 move mate. I was warned that my account would be terminated, but I see nothing in the rules against conducting experiments. I would like the strike taken off my account, and I am unable to contact support to ask, so that’s why I’m posting it here.

If your losing on purpose even if its an experiment it's not allowed.

What are activity points lmao but I have a lot?

I saw this on your profile, LOL. Maybe it's because you create multiple unnecessary posts instead of using the edit function, like a normal person. 

On a serious note. You got a warning for sandbagging. @StumpyBlitzer gave you a link with an explanation. That should be the end of the conversation. 

Your argument "I still wasn't trying to lose" is ridiculous. If you're not trying to lose, I suggest avoiding the resign button.

Just make a new account to do stuff like this (either here or on lichess).

A few days ago I wanted to see what my rating would be if I always played 2 games of 3|0 at the same time, so I made a new lichess account and did that.

(It's roughly 200 points lower)

If you want to do something like that, do it unrated.

You were sandbagging, admit the truth (we all know it).
