Hello,
I am not sure whether or not this has been requested before, but since I have not found any forums on this topic, I would like to tell it here. On lichess.org/player page there is a ranking for the Most active players, which is determined by games played.However, most of this leader board is taken up by people like german11, who play lots of bullet time control games. That is unfair to those who prefer classical time controls. Let's look at an example:
Player A: Non-stop bullet player without improvement
Player B: Slower time controls to improve their chess
Who do you think would get in the leader board faster? By the time Player B finishes one game of 15+15, Player A could have already played over 15 bullet games.Using this proportion, if german11 has played nearly 330,000 bullet games, then the classical player only has around 22,000 games, not possible to get in the leaderboard, even if two players have played for the same amount of time.
This makes it clear that players who play bullet time control have advantage over those who play slower time controls to improve. What matters is time spent playing, not how many bullet games you can get. This adjustment should not be too hard to accomplish, as you can already tell how much time a player has spent playing by going to their profile.
*I also believe that these players deserve trophies on their profiles. Just like it was for chess variants,a trophy for top 1/10/100 would inspire others to be more active.
Lastly,few more little suggestions:
1.Make some hourly/daily classical chess tournaments.
2.Improvement of challenge window(make it possible to see,who had challenged you when you were away from lichess or busy
3.Increase size of the chat box slightly.
4.My friend @kazamaza requested me to tell that Lichess contributors
also deserve trophies.(For people,who are actively contributing in studies,being nice in the chats,and for generating interesting ideas to make Lichess better)
Thanks for reading,
