I aborted 1 game today and got banned for 1 hour?
Interesting solution

Actually I like the rules of other website, which says "If you abort too many games, you will lose the right to abort and will have to play or resign. Please review our... ". After aborting 2 or 3 repeatedly, the user shouldn't be able to abort the game.
Although I had never such a problem here on lichess, maybe it is because I play only crazyhouse.

There are invisible rules. Wait for 15 seconds then abort and nothing happens. If you wait for 45 seconds and then abort then your opponent gets punished instead of you.
In that case there should be a timer and a warning shown somewhere.Because not everyone knows when it is 15 sec to abort. What if I abort a milli second before it is 15 sec? Ban for an hour ?
Or lichess wants me to bring the old grandma's kitchen timer ? Ok I will 2 of those. One for 15sec and another for 45 sec to punish my opponent.

Now I am banned for 15 minutes... So I will use that time to write here =)
I play Classical games only. And I do take them serious. I play only 4 games or so per day, until I get tired and it makes no sence to play weeker. That's why I have no mood to spend half of my day norm to play against the computer abusers. I do check my opponent's profile before each game if they have established rating, but this can not be the case when person played 20 games only or less. Regretfully half or even more players with provisional classical rating joining my games are obvious cheaters (persons like 2200 Classical and 1000 Puzzle rating). So, after all, I simply do not play persons with provisional rating, and abort those games immediately not to waste my time and the time of my opponent. If there is a penalty for aborting the games against suspicious opponents, can you at least give me possibility to set the amount of games opponent should have played, when I set the challenge?
Also, a new simbol of "not properly connected" opponent is extremely similar to provisional rating. Namely: "abcd (2000) ?" and "abcd (2000 ?)" respectively - it is extremely confusing, which leads to aborting the games against normal opponents whom I would certainly play otherwise. Can you make a more clear distinguish before these 2 cases?

Well put. I am not a fan of the lobby ban. I also check my opponents stats before each game and suspicious players are not played against. I would like to see the ban done away with, the 15 second rule does not work if it was my game and I am still punished. I believe I should have the FREEDOM to choose to not play any game I don't want to. Maybe I am crazy but the ban serves no real purpose?
#6, thank you for support! A lot of people actually complaint about that ban system during the last time. Personally I never had a problem of too many games aborted against me. It happened maybe several times per month only. Sometimes people left a game in a lost position, but it also was only a few cases, and I could block them afterwards. So I did not really see a problem before, but its solution now is really annoying.
Why am I being banned ? It says I aborted too many games but I thought I could abort as many games as I wish. And by the way, it was only a couple of games because people open a game but they don't start playing. Then I have to abort it of course. They must fix this. It's stupid! It never happened to me before. This site is kidding me!
