After the Atrophied debacle is it time to retire the LM title permanently? It is a title with no fixed criteria for it being awarded. I can appreciate it is a way of showing appreciation of people who have been an asset to the community. it does however also legitimize holders to allow them to extend their influence and offer services like coaching etc. Sometimes, as in the case with Atrophied, this has been misplaced.
While, ultimately the decision rests with the staff of lichess; I'd be interested in seeing how the rest of community feel about it.
I thought it was already retired in the sense that no new LM titles were awarded. On the other hand there is no reason to take awarded LM titles away from those who once got it.
@tpr galbijjim was awarded the LM Title during a time where this title was supposedly abandoned. It appears Lichess still makes special exceptions.
'I'd be interested in seeing how the rest of community feel about it.'
I think it is irrelevant and i feel nothing about it. You just want to point with your finger on a sinner. Probably you are one yourself.
#1 I think retiring the title would result in more suspicion and public accusations in general. Mistakes happen, but it doesn't make sense to have all the LMs suffer for that.
Also, this player got his title removed after he was detected. Everything fine, no?
@german11 Please lichess award this guy with a LM title - look at his number of games played!
210 000 games and 100% game completion rate. Hero.
What are the LM requirements?
I won't be there any time soon, but I'm just curious.
lichess.org/qa/13/what-is-the-lm-titleLM is not dead we just award it very rarely now. There are no fixed rating requirements like before.
