I was banned for 10 minutes for aborting 1 game

I haven't aborted a game for at least a week and then when I aborted one it said I aborted too many game so I have a timeout for 10 minutes. I thought you had to aborted 5 or something. Not very pleased.

Bro 10 min is nothing.... It gets annoying after it bans you for like 2 hrs repetitively
And I think it is based on time not number of aborts
I mean the 10 mins was finished long ago
So I think it doesn’t matter now

not odd at all. aborted games are deleted from the server after a while.

Sounds like you're not really telling the truth ...
I got banned for 15 minutes today for aborting several games.

I am not real interested in playing people who are 100 to 200 points better than I am. I learn nothing from being slaughtered.

What difference does it make to Lichess that a player aborts a game?

Actually you can learn a lot from playing higher rated players, even if you get slaughtered.

And you aborted a whole bunch of games where the rating difference was less than 100 points. So you earned the ban.
200 points diff means you still have 30% chance. Plus pairings with this gap are far from the rule. No excuses. Do you like it when you're paired, and the other guy clicks abort?
