not sure if this issue has been brought up yet. but this is the 4th time in a week I've seen this happen. to myself and my opponents.
the scenario goes we are in a heated fast paced game. the game reaches a critical and complicated position which causes the player to take more time to analyze till finally deciding it's over and resigns.
then a warning is given about possibly being banned if this happens again. in this case. my opponent had 30 seconds left and used 25 seconds to find any saving move till finally deciding it would be best to resign, respectfully.
I don't see why he or I in similar scenarios should be issued a warning and possible ban if this occurs numerous times in a short span.
My suggestion is only to warn those who abandon the game entirely letting the clock run to zero. even as a respectful and decent player, I sometimes look track of the clock and simply lose on time thinking there was at least 10 more seconds.
not a big deal but thought I'd bring light to this possible flaw in the lichess rules. it's perhaps being unintentionally a little too strict. regardless the site is still the best IMO and please do keep up the good work!
