This new rule is lame !

Seriously Lichess !
We've been complaining for years about opponents who leave the game as soon as they're losing, and the fact we had to wait like 2 or 3 minutes to be able to claim victory.

Now there is a new rule : when the opponent leaves, you have the message "your opponent leaved the page, you have to wait xx sec"

I've been disconnected for 30 seconds and I immediatly lost the game evn though I was clearly winning !
Ok lichess is not responsible for my bad connection, but you have players from all the world and lots of them have bad internet like me.
At least, give us a whole minute, or use analysis to check if leaving the game is suspect.

Play rapid, you'll have twice as long to reconnect (80 seconds).

I don't think that analysing every single game at real time is feasible, since there are ten thousands of games running at every moment. A better solution could be reporting the player if he leaves the game on purpose. If caught, there can be punishments like reducing 100 elo points. The second phase could be pooling such players together and not letting them Play anybody else except the players in that pool. If he/she still repeats this mistake, the account might be closed.

Maybe the timer should only appear against those persons who have been reported to leave without resigning...? That way the persons who have bad connection don't suffer. Though maybe they at times get reported even though it was just the connection, so it's not a perfect solution.

I'm pretty nervous nowadays on checking other tabs because I feel that Lichess may think that I'm disconnected.

Solution is so simple :

- in case of disconnection, you have 1 minute to reconnect
- If the opponent (or you) leaves, a short analysis is made for the 2 last moves : if the opponent leaves more than 1 minute AND after a shitty move : permanent ban

Every person believes they have the solution to the problem there is one problem they satisfy no one else.

Hard to find a perfect solution to that problem :( But yeah I get your point.

Yesterday I played a 10+0 game, and my opponent disconnected. I'm almost positive it only gave the opponent 30 seconds to reconnect, which is really not much time at all for a rapid game. This is pretty unfair to players with bad internet in my opinion.

im so sad :(

@Trxps , don't you think that players are responsible on their own for poor internet? There is a scale provided by Lichess to help players check their internet connection, and then if they play games despite having poor internet connections, it's their fault.
