Some top3 players of variants just play 1 game per month vs a 1500 to keep their elo

Hi guys, i like to play variants a lot and was looking at leaderboard to see how top players play their games to improve, especially in racings kings

1st place: lichess.org/@/Personal-Universe/all
so this guy just played 50 games lifetime in 0+1 mostly, and now play 1 game per month vs a 1500? to keep his placement
is this 1st place deserved ? not really

2nd place: lichess.org/@/MariusCiprian1/search?perf=17
this guy has played 9 games of racing kings in the last 5 months
is this 2nd place deserved ? not really

3rd place: lichess.org/@/Esgor/search?perf=17
this guy played... 4 games in the last 11 months
is this 3nd place deserved ? not really

meanwhile at 4th place: lichess.org/@/The_Skinny_Panda/search?perf=17
who played yesterday 3 hours tournament and crushed everyone
is this 4th place deserved? yes! is he the best racing kings players at the moment? probably!

Same in King of the Hill:
1st place lichess.org/@/WKurogane/search?perf=12
4 games in 4months in the variant...

Well on the others variant, most players play everyday

So i would just suggest, that to keep people on the leaderboard they have to play at least 10 games per month vs players that have a definitive elo on the variant, to avoid people sitting on top10 since a year by playing just 1 game per month vs a new player

cheers,

bonjour,est ce que vous pouvez parler francais?
en gros le top3 de racing kings et le 1er de king of the hill jouent 10 parties par an et conservent leur classement en jouant seulement une partie par mois, souvent contre des nouveaux joueurs

je ne trouve pas ça normal et demande au moins 10 parties par mois contre des joueurs avec un classement valide pour garder sa palce dans le classement général
oui t'as raison en plus il joue avec des adversaires tres faibles.Pour moi ca veux dire juste que le king of he hill et le racing kings sont pas tres populaires sur lichess.
Of course lichess won’t give a crap about it, allowing him on the leaderboard and letting him continue what he does... for over a year.
Many individuals, such as Esgor, Edward1970, and bd1312001.
The last name, bd1312001, has another account: MariusCiprian. I wonder how he has not been banned yet. The rules state that having multiple accounts is strongly discouraged. Well, the rules simply don’t apply... since the mods simply don’t care! They’ll let him hog up the leaderboard while everyone else is stuck at an unfair advantage. Considering the circumstances, I believe that to start off, Marius Ciprian and bd1312001 should be banned, simply for having two accounts, Esgor and Personal Universe should be stripped of their ranking (but not banned) and their requirements are at least 15 games a week in order to keep their ranking.
Sorry if this bored you, but that’s my idea of what should be done.
Protip: Don't insult the people who can help you. This will not motivate them or help your case. This is true for any everyday situation.

I'm still optimistic eventually github.com/ornicar/lila/pull/4034 will be merged.

Maybe I can find a few hours this weekend to start testing this using the lichess DB, although from work my brain is entirely fried (just merged 400 library upgrades to a 3 million line codebase) and my primary focus is for Multi-Variant SF 10 is released on schedule.
@lovlas you’re right, I apologize for my outburst.
Next time I’ll choose my words More carefully.
