Automatic abort

Hum this wait 60 sec doesn't work, I just had a game en.lichess.org/ZdIrso6nXeh4 and waited 90 sec just to be on the safe side but it's still showing on my profile as me aborting the game, and I don't see where it counted against the other player, so did I miss something?
I think you misunderstand how it works. You only get banned from the lobby after you have done several aborts in a row if you don't wait the 15 secs. Its going to show the game aborted on both players profile no matter how long you wait. If your opponent continues to not move after joining he will get the lobby ban, not you.

I wish I could find the thread that explained it better.
I joined a game, made the first move as white and just sat there for 2 minutes while the other player refused to make a move. Finally I got tired of sitting there and aborted the game.

Anytime one player does not move before both timers start the game should be aborted automatically. It doesn't make sense otherwise.
