Yes, it's because people abuse it to exclusively play white

Raptor asked: @BeDecentForAChange are you a mod? do you represent lichess in your statements?

@BeDecentForAChange said in #588:

I represent myself in all of my statements, and can not be considered moderate by any meaning of the word

"Yes" or "no" would be enough.

We all know, what a diplomatic answer means.

In my worst dreams you are the Thibault himself.

@BeDecentForAChange

Did you answer this?:

Where can we find the statistic, that shows the ecaxt numbers of all Lichess white games and black games over the years? I guess, you already worked with it to be sure about what you say here?

After some days searching for it, I was not able to find an open statistic.

I am deeper and deeper interested in, what we are talking about here exactly. Numbers?

@BeDecentForAChange said in #577:

An argument could be made for keeping it on for casual games.

I sincerely hope so.
Not only because having the choice of color in unrated games offers greater possibilities to experiment and try.
But also because a strong point of lichess is that only here there is a good number of players willing to take unrated games quite seriously, while elsewhere players play without commitment, or regularly resign as soon as they are two pawns down. My doubt is that without the possibility of choosing the color, many will no longer have an interest in playing unrated.

Perhaps, but my answer amused me more

Okay, tell me what a diplomatic answer means

In your worst dreams, I'm someone who has made the very platform that you're writing this post on? That's not so bad!

Do you mean to tell me that all of your claims have been completely unfounded, and you actually had no data to substantiate anything you've claimed so far? :o

So far I've mainly talked about numbers in your profile (remember your excessive black using?)

So what statistics are you referring to?

I guess, a lot here would have fun to read it? Me too.

Yes, I remember you missing the point there. My games are on invites primarily! That makes your whole argument invalid, since it's the very feature I'm advocating for, and exactly what Lichess has preserved

So what statistics are you referring to?

I have referred to many statistics, which one are you asking about? Which statistic did you research for the last couple of days?

Oh, I ask for the statistic that evidences the alleged abuse of playing the white pieces here (months and years).
