Suggestion to ban the ultrabullet

I think ultrabullet is good for people with short attention spans

Chess - in all its forms - is a purely recreational thing for the bottom 99% of all players.
It's not good for the game, as well as all other forms of silly types (horde, atomic, crazyhouse). Those should not exist either

You're just being chauvinist, good thing no staff will even remotely consider this
Well, how do these help chess grow? Or how does it help your chess grow in any way? It's good for wasting time. Is that what you guys want? Waste time?
Why do you think everyone is interested in nothing but improving? Do you have no sense of fun? (I guess so)
Maybe it helps people with attention spans of only 10 seconds learn to concentrate for a minute?

Bullet chess in general is just a different game to real chess. When chess is mainly about mouse slips, flagging your opponent and stuff, it's just about completely different skills to regular chess. IMO if you are not very good at chess then it is actually ridiculous to even play it.

If you don't like it, don't play it. I am sure there are some people enjoying to play UB.
