What you did is not 'really fair', it's kingmaking. And it is not allowed here, and strongly disapproved of by most serious gamers.

And inflating weaker/newer players' results by your in-game actions doesn't even help them: in the short term, they'll get paired with opponents who are too good for them, which is not very fun; in the medium term, their ELO and arena scores will drop back to their 'true' levels.

Good intentions - bad implementation.

There's two sides here. You're ruining the game for the person that was leading. If I was leading and had someone give all their resources to the 3rd player, I would be furious. In that position I would absolutely red-thumb you. That's not BGA's fault. If enough people red-thumb you then you will lose reputation. If you do this regularly in games then those red-thumbs are deserved.

Why should you get to decide who wins? Why shouldn't it be the person that plays the best? Or the person that got the luckiest?

If you want to help low ELO players there are better ways to do it. Give them tips on how to play better (if they want them). Handing them free victories does nothing in the long term.

Uh, actually....
FAQ - code of conduct wrote: Link Here
What is the code of conduct?
On Board Game Arena, you should not:
Run out of time on the game clock.
Leave a game in progress on purpose.
Take an unnecessary and unreasonable amount of time at the end of game in an obvious losing position.
Engage in Kingmaking: enabling another player to win on purpose while there is a better move to make for yourself.
Give some piece of information about the current game situation that disturbs the normal game flow.
Communicate with another player about the game privately (for example with an instant messenging app).
Engage in provocation / triumphalism / defeatism... anything which is not fair play.
Use an avatar that may be shocking or offensive to other players (no advertisement, no politics, ...)
Breaking these rules will affect your reputation.
You are pretty much engaging in the definition of kingmaking, which is specifically prohibited in the code of conduct. It sounds like your red thumbs are deserved.

2 wrongs don't make a right.

Who's to say the player that's being helped to win, wants to be helped to win?

And 2 players secretly playing together is all kinds of bad and unsportsman like.
