Player reputation (karma)

[ddugovic]

Get players to stop brigading the feedback forum due to inability to use the report button. Maybe we need a rule against brigading so I can report such players.

I recently played a game in a tournament where I quickly forked the other players king and queen. When that happened they decided not to move for the rest of the game. This being a tournament with no rounds I dropped down a lot of places because of how long it took for the game to end. It would be hard but good to have something that can prevent that.

This message is mainly addressed to the moderators in here, but perhaps this post will resonate with other users as well.

During yesterday’s session of games, I was accused of cheating by two separate players - on each occasion they sent me a direct message after the game, supplying no evidence of course to back up their accusations merely the fact that I had beaten them.

I would like to know why these users are allowed to initiate a conversation like this and then be able to instantly block all messages, preventing my right to reply? Of course I reported this, but as yet have heard nothing. As far as I’m aware, these users are allowed to continue playing as normal.

So my main points are as follow:

1. What are the consequences on lichess for unsportmanlike behaviour?...apparently nothing.
2. Could you please try and address the fundamentally flawed messaging system? If you initiate a conversation with a fellow user, that user should be allowed at minimum a right to reply.

You are right: stalling is really a bad competitive practice.
