:-)
Come on Guys,If it's problem You must solved it,
Many people believe that Lichess is developing site but...
Some some behaviors are like in kindergarten,it's no good,
"The Guard od Texas" had beard and propaply mustache:-)
It was in films:-)
Reality is different,
Lichess.org has proffesional Stuff,I hope,

Specifics of problem with aborted games-

Many people abort game because-

-You think that Your opponent is propably cheater(many people create new account for play against You with chessengine,often it's for one game,then He(user)closes account),
-Your opponent insulted You before start the game(Antagonisms etc.),
-You think and know that Your opponent is troll and in loss position he will play to end of time,
-You created game but Your opponent abort game because he don't understand rules of new variant(3 check etcetera),
-You created game with random colour of pieces,he has black but he want to have white,next he abort game,
-You play rare opening,example,Saragossa,he abort game,
Many others..............

So,
In this situation is necessary to introduce clear rules example like on chess.com-
You aborted game,You see communicate:
------Be nice and honest for Your opponent and don't abort game,
In other,You will be banned-----

but...

You need to know which User abort the game
I think that it make sense
what the hell are you talking about? who cares about this.
What you said about people aborting a game just because it's a variant is true, and I know about it all too well.
You should be able to abort a game for any reason you feel like. Who wants to be compelled to play a game with someone they do not wish to?
@Farside
I agree with you on that, but aborting games because they're a variant is dumb, for one reason: is it really that difficult to check what match type it is before joining?
I respect those who like variant's, but I don't. I do not wish to be compelled to play them. I am an old school chess player and wish to play only the standard verision.
That much is understood. If you don't want to play variants, I won't force you to.

But it bothers me that people don't always check match types before joining games. There's been many times where someone joins my game, sits there for a few moments, (presumably looking at the variant info on the side of the screen) and then aborts.

This is why I think more should be done to let people know when they're joining a variant match.
There's not really much point in aborting games to begin with. If you keep trying to challenge someone, and they repeatedly accept and abort, there is nothing stopping you from blocking that person.

On a side note, are you a native English speaker, or did you use Google Translate? In the future, you'd probably be more understandable if you omitted the smilies and those perplexing idioms.
