@game_spectator -- So, what is really the solution to this, in your opinion? No games, no guessing, just put it forth please.
Btw, I was also annoyed/confused at the beginning by these warnings. I asked in the forum and got an explanation why they were introduced + the details of their implementation (e.g. that just the warnings are new, but the temporary ban already existed; that an occasional warning will not affect anyone, but consistent stalling will eventually get banned etc.) So, I came to accept them as is because I got the LOGIC behind them.
Re. the need to publicly debate every change prior to implementation -- I respectfully disagree. Especially when it's not presented as a "nice-to-have" (e.g. via a feature request voting system), but rather as a "must-have-or-else".
Imho, admins/moderators/developers are more than entitled to make the decisions they consider proper. After all they are the "insiders" of the system + have a lot more information about how a behavior or change affects the Lichess community as a whole. And if they make occasional mistakes (they are human, after all :)), they have shown on countless occasions their receptiveness to criticism and pertinent suggestions, especially when backed up by a large user base.
So, my advice: make your pertinent suggestion here in the forum, see if others approve of it, and let the admins/moderators act upon that. Fair enough?
