Warning, John Doe. Letting time run out instead of resigning will result in a temporary ban.

I was playing bullet, and my opponent moved one second before he lost on time, yet still got this message. You guys need to fix this. This might make sense if he did not move because he was thinking, but he did actually move. Makes no sense.

It does make sense, because many players either try to trick the clocksitter recognition this way, or hope for their opponent also leaving, which would even give them a win on time.

In bullet?
I can see it in a long game, but if you're getting checkmated and calculating your moves with the time you have allotted on your clock, and then you proceed to make a few moves, immediately before being flagged, how can there be a penalty?
Is there a separate clock of time per move?
No, no there is not.
With this false logic, we don't really have a right to use our time remaining on the clock to think with. SO now someone can get suspended for thinking.
Is this "woke" chess. What am I missing?

There was no penalty, only a warning.

Your opp stalled you over more than 30 seconds. It doesn't matter if it's intentionally or due to bad connection. In the latter case, it shouldn't bother the player if it doesn't become an overly frequent thing. Clocksitting is unsportsmanlike, hence the warnings and possible playbans.

In that case we need a time per move clock, which gives you an in game warning of stalling. Otherwise this is just nonsense.

Where is it written how much time consists of stalling?
How does one know when one is taking too much time to calculate a move?
If this is automatic, then why not show the countdown clock?
Especially if you are playing with an increment, which I do. I can make a whole bunch of moves in one second. Who has the right to tell me how to manage my time?

Stop rabble-rousing.

We do not need "warnings of warnings" because if you behave normally, you will get one only rarely at worst so you're not harmed at all. The system exists to differ between normal time management and stalling, and it does a solid job at that. If anything, people complain about the system not being strict enough just as often as people disrespect the system like you're doing now.

Say you need to think a lot and your time goes down. Normal action would be to keep making moves before getting flagged, especially without increment. It's awkward to completely leave the clock out of account especially in controls slower than bullet. If you have increment, you can recover your time a bit to avoid getting flagged, and you won't get a warning.

Now you're telling me not only am I wrong but a should shut up?
I just rewatched the game, not even close to stalling.
This behavior was perfectly normal for a bullet game.
I have a right to post valid argument in the forum.
You just think your right but you're not.

@Cedur216 "people disrespect the system like you're doing now."

Please explain how I'm disrespecting the system by pointing out a flaw, which is what this part of the forum is designed for?
The only disrespect in this thread is coming from you.
Are you part of the Lichess team that designs the website?
With what authority are you speaking?
