Cancellation rate

Hi,
I was thinking about a new "cancellations rate", visible in each profile, which would allow to target users who cancel several games in a row just because they are not starting with Whites. Does it make sense to you?
Thanks.
This would apply to opponents who are spiteful or vindictive. A couple of opponents "accepted " a challenge and then aborted about 5 games one immediately after the other,

I think an automated warning message to players who frequently and successively abort games would be a better idea. And then suspending their account if they continue to do so. It's no different to the abusive behaviour of cheating, it ruins the game for everyone.
yea normally we just say change the ratings restriction or come back later when they're gone, but I have to say it gets very annoying for people after a point when that doesn't work (for me included as this sometimes does happen to me)

So we'll accept user reports of that sort of thing too if you want to flag that as trolling/insult/whatever. Surprisingly though I don't think anyone's ever bothered to report it via the system, only complain about it on the forum.
Maybe you should make a "report" button visible on the user profile page, and perhaps make a report button visible on the match board.
Oh, there isn't already one on the user's page?

*checks* :D nope

Kind of surprising to me at least haha. I don't keep much track of thibault's changes to this site from a normal user's point of view. I usually only notice the negative things since I'm not much of a features person.
Should be added to the todo list, I think. I'd implement it by putting a button in with the "Follow, Block, Export Games" section, then either drop-down to display a short form or redirect to a report page (the former being my preference as the form doesn't require much contents. Only needs a drop down for the offense, and an optional short description of what occured).
lol, I don't even know how to file a report on this website.

If it's not by clicking somebody's username and viewing the profile of the person I want to report, then how do I do it??

I know I reported my own dumb ass once just for lulz. I just forgot how. :D

I guess there's some special URL we're supposed to memorize to go to the right page for filing a user report.
Same can be said for a lot of things here I guess.
There has always been a "Report xxx to the moderators" link in every user profile page.
Oh, now I see it. It's a little hidden down there.
