This is outrageous. I've been following Pepellou for years and I would've never suspected him of cheating. He was always very aware that playing moves that the chat suggested during a rated game is not allowed and would continually warn his viewers about it. Until we're shown any evidence I have to come to the conclusion that this is a terrible mistake done by lichess.
Whatever 'faith' I could've had in the cheat detection and the appeals process on this site is disappearing.
As to the game linked above, there's nothing special about any of Pepellou's moves and it clearly doesn't prove that he cheated.
