Can't create game with specific side any more

@BeDecentForAChange said in #608:

Any player with over 1000 games, and more than 70% of one color. Shall we agree that is conclusively abusive of the feature?

Nooo, this is not so easy. We can only agree, that you think 70% of 1000 games, played white, are abusive. And we can go on with this idea.

(I think, without knowing the reasons (age, illness, training for an important game, others, code ...), a player plays a lot white, I can not judge.)

Now the server has set up my game black 10 times in a row. I am time out. No, if another player wants to play me it will be on my terms. After 8 years and playing 129 days and donating to support the site I must retire and move on

You can still invite people to play you, where you play white! But you can not force your terms on others of course. All in the spirit of fair play!

What age or ilness could cause someone to exclusively play white?

If you can only look at individuals cases, why did you just tell me that you don't want individual cases but hard statistics. Now that I'm proposing an actual measurement for the statistic, you're saying that you can't agree to it.

In that case, there is no need to calculate

I explained some of this before. Illnes was my new idea (for example an obsessive-compulsive disorder).

Yees, because I don`t want to see only my ideas, I want to know about objective factors too.

No, I said, that I can not agree with you to call it abusive, but for example 70% of 1000 games played white, is a %, that causes attention.

But I want to know how many profiles of all profiles (how wany?) here cause this or similar attention, you call abusive.

If you tell me what % of games on a player is the marker for abusive or unfair play, and at what % of players on the server, you would call this abusivesness a problem, I can calculate it for those markers.

People are reporting that the server is now forcing them to play blacks or whites in a row statistically more than coincidence. One guy got 23 blacks in a row!

If there would be more than 50% of all players here on the server, playing their own games 70% white only, I would be shocked.

You can calculate different markers? More than one?

Yes, I could be shocked too

Sure, I'll give you the numbers this weekend

Can you DM me his username? I am willing to bet my house that he did not actually play 23 games with black in a row on matchmaking.

If you go to the Lichess feedback forum it's on there.
