I get offered to play Black 3 or 4 x as many as White. It happens whether I win or lose playing Black or White. After the 3rd offer to play Black, I get kicked-off for 3 days. This is - of course - ridiculous. Why should I be compelled to play Black 75% of the time? And, it makes NO sense. What kind of an algorithm can't flag that the player has just played Black and deserves a chance to play Whte? Lichess refuses to answer direct email. Anyone else experiencing this?
No, you don't. You played 5230 games with white and 4835 games with black. Thus it's no surprise that the system tries to balance the ratio and you get black more often than white.
Perhaps a piece of advice based on your recent game history: if you keep canceling games whenever you get black, you should expect to (1) keep getting black and (2) earn a playban.

I hope I remember this thread to link to it when someone complains that the ban for aborted games doesn't work.
@Datagod12 The only way out of this misery is to start playing with the black pieces, paying your color debt.

Nonsense! You don't post numbers of games played in white & black - unless it's somewhere hidden on your site. So, I don't believe your numbers. Show me where on your sight you list out the numbers. I rarely abort a game. If I'm being offered Black for the 3rd or 4th time, I will decline. Perhaps ... those constitute "aborts" in your definition. Again, if your algorithm WERE fair, it would simply tag me as either having played "White" or "Black", and offer me the opposite color. It ain't rocket science. I'm guessing it's your form of harassment.

This means that things are done just about right.

You aborted 4 games out of 5 five hours ago.
Anyways...
Games with white pieces: lichess.org/@/Datagod12/search?players.a=datagod12&players.white=datagod12&sort.field=d&sort.order=desc
Games with black pieces: lichess.org/@/Datagod12/search?players.a=datagod12&players.black=datagod12&sort.field=d&sort.order=desc
So more games with white. As the system always balances the amount of games with white and black, you are going to get more games with black for a while.
If you don't want to get automatically playbanned, you would just have to accept the color of pieces that you are given.

Are you serious? You can find it easily in your profile - and comment #3 even gave you a direct link (for white).
