threat of temporary ban when not making final move in time

... there seem to be some cases, where, say with 8 seconds left on the clock in a _decent_ position, the opponent plays an unexpected move, and by the time one has worked out s/he was just trying to confuse you so as to flag, it works! To add insult to injury, the system then threatens a ban due to letting the clock run down instead of resigning.

Should such a warning only come up if the move takes over 20 seconds, say, (or proportional to the time-control of the game), and if you have the processing power, if the computer valuation (only in qualifying scenarios, of course) is under -5.0, for example?

It is proportional to the time control, and it can never go under 15s - not 8s as you suggested. github.com/ornicar/lila/blob/e7c53904ec51a6a8825f247e68049afd46710f6f/modules/playban/src/main/PlaybanApi.scala#L74-L76

... so, if you're playing a 3+2, would only think-time over 15s upto flagging not incur the warning?
I must say it seemed like it was much shorter on a few occasions in the last months, but since I lose most of my games getting flagged when winning, and am in a state of shock at that moment (still, every time!) I suspect my time awareness is not beyond-reasonable-doubt evidence!
Thank you.

cool
wow

I just got banned for about a 15 second time out. That seems completely unfair to me. In a 3 + 6 game. I was going to create this same thread. Why does lichess assume that you could figure out a position in a certain very limited amount of time.

@Nh7akamura23 yes, it's the wrong place - this topic is about temporary bans for slow moves, not complaints about bans for "friends'" persistent cheating.

Plus, this:

Sorry :(
We had to time you out for a little while.

The timeout expires 38 seconds ago.

Why?

well its all coding so because of that they coded the cmputer to do this when this .....
and its also a software so,yeah.
we cant really report or we can actually ;D

MEH,PLZ SUB
