I think it's time to have a "95% completion" green star or something...

I came over from chessdotcom because of the number of cowards that didn't have the courtesy to resign a game. It had been OK on here but now it's getting like chessdotcom. I just had 3 in just my last few games. I think something has to be done because the actions of the cowards is ruining the experience for the honest players that do have the strength of character to resign when lost. The non-resigning quitters are winning this battle and that is wrong.

Perhaps something like a green star next to a players name if someone is achieving 95% completion rate in games could be an idea ? (100% completion would be ideal but I suppose some errors must be accounted for). It would certainly be good if honest players were more easily identified before starting a game. Or perhaps the chess experience on here could be compromised for those achieving a low completion rate? This way they would learn that cheating and quitting only ruins their experience and not ours. Or perhaps we can choose to not play anyone under a certain completion rate %?

Maybe something like this exists already and I just haven't found it?

Message to quitters: Yeah, dudes...we all hate losing, but it's just a game. It's not personal. This is not Godfather 2, it's just a game of chess which should be fun. You won't get far in life with this 'quitting is preferable to resigning' mentality. When life throws you a curveball are you just gonna run away?

Admins, please do something!! Thank you.

It is a good idea. An incentive for good behavior can help make a more friendly field.

If I am not wrong there is a warning and in the warning it is written that they will be banned.

"You won't get far in life with this 'quitting is preferable to resigning' mentality. When life throws you a curveball are you just gonna run away?"

Uh-oh, another Life Coach.

Errrr yeah. OK. I guess so then :)

With your snarky attitude it sounds like you are gonna maybe need one at some point. Drop me a message and I'll see if I can fit you in for a session. My rates are very reasonable!

You'll have to loosen your straps first.

Do you mean people who just basically abort the game - or people who don't resign a game that is losing? Because people who don't resign when losing aren't cowards - they are people who don't give up. But people who simply abort a game while not resigning are cowards.

Interesting... I just happened to look at my profile and found that I have a 97% game completion score. I NEVER quit Lichess without resigning. I don't recall any time that I lost a game because of a lost of connection. It used to be 100%. What gives?

when you quit a game I think it still lowers your rating I dont think it has to do with them not quiting... i abort a lot of games if my opponents are to low and this lowers my percentage.... this percentage doesnt have much to do with people running out of time.... I quit games if im lost so im not wasting my time... what your talking about is something else.

Post #3 is anti-semitic. If you doubt you can find deep discussions about in Germany, because atm there is a part of the corona conspiration theorists cleary anti-semitic and they used it.

I did send a request to the moderators to delete it. Nothing happens. Be aware! The trivialisation of persecution and murder is no joke. Lichess should care for this!
