Lichess titles

this is just an idea.....
like Fide online arena....made titles for players under 2200...
Ex...1700-1800-----LCE---lichess expert
1800-1900-----LCM----lichess chess master
1900-2000-----LIM-----lichess international master
2000+-----------LGM----lichess Grand Master

A title is supposed to be a rare thing.
If 30 % of the players are titled, what is the point ?!

The actual system is good. The lowest title (LM) is already very hard to get and only a few people can contest for that.

I understand you want to get your pretty Lichess Chess Master (Master = 1800 elo ? lol) title but you should consider improving your chess to get a real title instead.
Do not like the idea except if the rating requirements started at 2000. And follow the rules before for lichess master.

2350+ Classical
or the 2400 whatever it was before along with one needing to be in blitz or classical
Actually starting with 2100 and increments of 50+ and having 100 consecutive games above the limit could work but still sort of useless.
Ah, so LM is lichess master? I always wondered what LM meant.
Why didn't you tell me that earlier? :P
Now I'm gonna go tryhard mode to reach LM. :D
There could be some like:

Master
Expert
...
...
Beginner

But this wouldn't really fit into the minimalistic style of lichess.
If everyone has a title, it just waters it down and makes it meaningless. Titles are something hard to get that take work to obtain. They shouldn't be freely given out.
