Arbiter Button Mode

#1

I wanna get real life tournament's memories back!
So I have a suggestion:
Like lichess makes arena, swiss, simul, why not make something DIFFERENT.
So I suggest a mode which has all swiss features, but the pairing system works like arena. There's a twist in this game mode, why not add an arbiter button next to the resign button. In this mode illegal moves can be played, but if your opponent catches it, it will see the game and find any illegal moves played. If an illegal move is found you get a warning, if it repeats again then the game is over and the player who made the 2 illegal moves loses. If there was no illegal move found, you will lose 1 appeal for the arbiter button (total: 3 appeals for arbiter button). But if an illegal move is found your appeal is refunded back. I chose 3 appeals to avoid mouse-slips. If there were 2, and you mouse slip 1, you will remain with 1, therefore i changed it to 3. There will be a confirmation option just like the other buttons, however you can change this in settings.

Q: Why add this feature?
A:

  1. I wanna get real life tournament's memories back!
  2. It can be used for big online tournaments or professional tournaments. You can also do this feature for Normal Tournaments. You can also add prizes to your tournament.

I didnt think of a name for this mode, hope anyone can give a suggestion.

Any one of these many suggestions would be difficult to implement; there has actually been some prior discussion of "children's chess" however this would undo the work done in https://lichess.org/blog/Wqa7GiAAAOIpBLoY/developer-update-275-improved-game-compression

Okay. But it would be good if it were to be added!
I just want memories of real tournaments!

does this mean that if you've already used your arbiter calls your opponent can just do whatever they want
