Has Lichess made any response to this at all yet? Just wondering.

Thanks.

No nothing so far.

Nope
I counter with Yep

Deal with them like you deal with cheaters.

I believe they do now. But I see your point. How would that work though?

We are on the same page here.

Yay

Deal with color abusers like you deal with cheaters.

How would that work?

By the way:

I have played over 51300 games since 2016. All with black.

I think I'm a cheater.

No, since the update you have played 10 games with white! Looks like the system is working.

Quite the opposite: after my sobering attempts to play blitz games with white, I break off every game with white.

Now I've been banned for an hour for the first time.

Yes, the system worked. If the aim was to scare away long-time loyal users. :D

The aim was to stop abuse of the color choosing. Making sure it can't be bypassed with aborting solidifies this. And you have already started to play with white, I'm sure you'll pick it up in no-time!

@teddyd

You're playing great with white! You crushed it out of the opening, just slipped away from you in the endgame

I am sure that I would also learn to play poker very quickly. But to be honest, I don't really want to. ;)

You won't need to learn a whole new cardgame for this fortunately enough. Looks like you're doing fine with white already!

FYI, you can't play poker with black cards exclusively either.
