ban keyboard!

<Comment deleted by user>
@danegraphics e.g. Andrew Tang

because it's OP in ultrabullet

but I wonder why it's not that everyone uses it then
People aren't completely degenerate! kb is just disgusting and should be banned. The problem is that there is no way of banning it... Please just stop complaining. In my opinion, lagging is much worse! Ultrabullet isn't supposed to have increment!

So if somebody gets banned for cheating by running a browser plugin that gives them Stockfish moves in their game window, it can't be banned because it's not a Lichess feature? You might want to rethink that position. because I'll bet dollars to donuts that the admins would disagree with you.

People want the keyboard extension banned for the same reason they want computer assistance banned: It gives the player using it a demonstrable advantage over the one not using it. I don't have a horsey in this race because I'm too old for anything faster than rapid (and rapid's debatable).

I absolutely see why people are upset by keyboarding, and you can make the argument that it approaches the "outside assistance" threshold susceptible to a ban. IMHO it's a serious enough issue that the TOS should explicitly address it one way or the other and put the uncertainty to rest forever.
