Why is it that if I lag in a tournament not only do I lose rating points but now I got a one-hour time out and this is the only time of day I can play without distraction? Not fair. I did not purposefully try to lose rating points to someone rated 500 points below me by not moving it's obviously due to connection problem
I agree, the rating loss seems like a bug.
No @Toadofsky , in tournaments the rating loss is (unfortunately?!) intended to not let people hinder the game flow. I was myself a few times a victim of the classic "no move loss" and I had to learn that while playing a tournament it is really helpful to run lichess in only one tab! Connection issues are naturally another story...
The one-hour time out should however indeed be a bug. It is meant to punish time-wasters, the people with bad connections are punished enough anyway. I'm sorry for you @JKtheBullfrog especially because you are playing interesting games!

This is a possible solution to connection problems:

After I did that changes, my lag reduced from 210ms to 95ms.
