Various suggestions

I have 3 suggestions for how lichess could be even better:
1. In Advanced search, could there be an option to search games only played in a type of tournament (e.g. Hourly Bullet Arenas)?
2. There is currently an option to download all standard rated games. Could this be extended to variants?
3. When somebody I follow joins a tournament, on the sidebar of the home page I get a message saying "so-and-so competes in such-and-such tournament". This is misleading because they haven't competed in it, they joined it. For example, if somebody joined the Autumn Marathon, the sidebar would say they competed in it when obviously it hasn't started yet.
There is another problem... Lichess is too perfect and you start playing here too much. And there seem to be no way to solve this but just by blocking site :(. (And then you need to block chess.com too, though it's much worse piece and less addictive.)

By the way... It's good sometimes to just enjoy this site interface ultimate quality, even without playing chess. This interface and lobby music theme deserve to be in world internet sites museum (if there is one) (if there isn't, it must be built for lichess placement).
Thank you lichess for implementing #2. I have an idea to do analysis on crazyhouse to compute piece values so it is very appreciated. I still think implementing #1 and #3 would be nice. Additionally, some more ideas:
4. In Advanced search (yes, I know it isn't working right now but when it does), could there be an option to search games from a specific position. For example, I might want to see all my games when I play a particular opening. Right now, I can put the position in at analysis and search all games but I can't filter out just my games.
5. Two very strong players seem to play 1 rated game against weak opposition a week so that they can stay on top of the leaderboard. I understand that and I'm sure that if I was them, I would do the same thing. At the same time, I wonder if lichess could do something to combat this.
6. The Computer Analysis seems to have some bugs. For example, lichess.org/lDgG1MCS. Why isn't black's 5th move counted as at least an inaccuracy and probably a mistake or blunder?
I love lichess. I know these are small things; I just they would improve my experience (especially #4).
On second thought, 5 and 6 are kind of stupid and too nitpicky. Some more things:
7. I really liked the rating changes. They gave the tournaments color. They also let you motivate yourself easier. Finally, they let you see how "on fire" other people were.
8. Two things about analysis: What happened to being able to specify CPU and memory? Right now, you have to only use 1 core to analyze which means you get worse analysis. Also, sometimes the analysis crashes and uses up CPU like crazy.
9. Small thing but can the crosstable be scrollable so that for two players who have played a lot of games against each other, you can see how they used do against each other.

Lichess has been greatly improving recently. The FVVWC, shield tournaments, revolutions, and Titled Arenas are all exciting changes. I look forward to more from the world's best chess website!
I suggest to either completely remove a 1/4+0 "chess" games from the main page of lichess; or replace it with something at least 3+0; or even maybe let registered users choose in profile if they want a time control of which game they want to see on entrance...
either a real chess game or a pawn-mouse-pusher game with 1/4 control that's really not a chess game.
2 suggestions;
1) have only 1 possibility to change our username
2) little trophies in our profile if i win an official tournament (is good enough a little cup icon with a little number of the tournament won).

for the rest, lichess is perfect :)
