LICHESS "FAIR PLAY"-tittle

What do You think about it?

This is new Idea of Kristo's Team Chess,

Here,on Lichess We have-"LICHESS MASTER"-tittle for some strong Players,
For people who are "fair play" and exhibit positive activity in Lichess community, We could give this title,

Chess is sport,so in other disciplines there are tittles for ex.Champions and for Teams or Players who are honest,
What is Your opinion?
the idea is good in theory in practice, It may be
unsustainable, weird or difficult to carry,
think about this, you will have to apply some type of statistic
or voting,
cause you might play 100 players and be fair to 95 and 5 unfair, connection issues or whatever.
Perhaps there can be an objective measure of games completed, time spent on the site, games aborted.
So you can measure volume and quality of play but measure fairness, It is difficult, I mean everybody is fair except those who use computer assistance and those who are unpolite in chat but despite all of this I like the idea.
I mean You have spent 43 days, 8 hours and 15 minutes
so even if You did not have a cup at least you are showing that You like chess.
thats a whole lot of time considering that each day has 24 hours.
what if the people just don't like you and they say you are unfair?
Yeah, I bounced a similar idea past Clarkey a few weeks ago, and it's really difficult to hammer out the logistics to make it work, as much as I'd love to see a system like this. Maybe eventually someone will work out the logistics to keep people from abusing the system.
There are already titles that represent chess players. I believe these main title awards originate from constant tournament ratings.

Country flags of our champions would be a great thing to see and
be able to sort by country.

A printable pdf title certificate would be a plus.
