Avoid Provisional players when seeking in the lobby

Is there a way to avoid playing provisional players when you want matches in the lobby? If not, can that be a feature?

You get 15 seconds to make a move. Invest the time to check their rating and then decide to play.

What's the problem anyway? You're a strong player, so if they're bad, then crush them quickly, and if they're an engine then there's no harm in the challenge

If you are seeking in the lobby @mysterious_expert you can simply adjust the challenge so that only players above a specific rating (in this case above say 1800) can accept your challenge, thereby blocking most provisional players who have played less than 5 games

How are they get a real rating if nobody plays against them when they have a provisional? Or you mean you'd like us others to play against them but you don't want to do your share?
