I'm new to lichess, I'm still at 1500? When does the ? mark go away?
Also when I start a casual game correspondence 2 days, why are people accepting my game and then not playing, it's happened 3 times so far, why would someone accept if they are not going to play? Am I creating the game incorrectly?
The ? means it's a provisional rating. You haven't played enough games for your rating to be non-provisional. I think after 12 games, the ? goes away.
Not sure about people leaving correspondence games. But I just challenged you and we can play if you'd like!
"When does the ? mark go away?"
Never if you don't play rated games.
Rating information:
lichess.org/faq#provisionallichess.org/faq#high-ratingsMake sure you are playing rated games so your rating will get impacted based on the result
Correspondence: You are just fine, but unfortunately threre are not very many commited correspondence players on this iste. However I am one of the few, so challenge me to rated correspondence and I would be happy to play you... however if somebody doesn't move when in a lost position for a while, and is purposely making you wait for the game to time out you can report them here
lichess.org/report All the best
It's true, you will have to play rated games so that it counts as a normal game, after 12 rated games or so, the ? should go away.
