Suggestion: 3Fold game result code

Given how many times threefold repetition "bugs" are reported in the Q&A, it would be nice if Lichess stated "threefold repetition" as the game result which linked to a "Chess Basics" tutorial explaining the rule.

A player who doesn't understand the rule is more likely to file a bug in the Q&A than to use Altavista (or search engine of their choice) to discover the rule.

Maybe do the same sort of thing for losses to K+N .

+1 for both! (I've lost count of how many people complain about losing to K+N or K+B)

+1 excellent suggestion!

I don't think there are Chess Basics sections devoted to threefold repetition, fifty move rule, and insufficient mating material, so that won't work as of now. +1 for the idea of showing more reasons for the game result, though.

If not to an explanation of some sort, it could at least show something like "same posittion occoured after (linking the moves)".
Often users do know the rule but can't figure out the exact positions.

#6 The unfortunate thing there is that more often, players say "well I didn't repeat the same moves, so it's not 3fold" and don't understand that it's about repeating a position.

Yes you are probably right.
So showing the moves could go along with a link to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threefold_repetition maybe?

Your topic however inspired another idea to prevent reoccurring topics especially in the Q&A.
Probably there is a reason for lichess not telling a player right away when he got caught cheating. But they'll figure out anyway once they address the community with their "issue", since someone will tell em.
So why not instead of allowing a flagged player to ask a question in the Q&A right away, just show them a "in between screen" like this:

Dear User,
the answer to your question with a probability of over 99% is that you have used some sort of assistance during your games on Lichess.
That is why you are not allowed to participate in tourneys anymore and the lobby looks kind of empty at times.
However if you did not use any kind of assistance during your games you should write an email to contact@lichess.org.
If your question was totally unrelated and you still want to address the community click here and solve another chess captcha. =)

Maybe it could also check if the user did participate in the forum and/or Q&A prior this. If not it is most likely he wants to report a "not able to play" bug.
I think it would be nice getting rid of this sad daily topics. They just have a paranoia supporting effect on the community and I would not mind reading them any more.
Kind of watching news 24/7 and see the worlds problems all the time, instead of the nice things.
