Honor feature

I tought it would be nice to not only report someone but honor someone if they played nice or something like that.

What do you think?

Personally I really like the idea. No idea how it should be done or how it would work.

Really interesting, but probably impossible to come up with criteria.

I'd be honored for nice chat. Even when I'm angry or opponents complain, I'm nice and make friends. If that's even a criterium, it still has to comprehend many languages.

But many people wish me a douchebag medal for always fighting until the very last hope of stalemate.

I agree. I'd like to be able to send my opponent a "Kudos" for winning or losing with dignity, or otherwise making the game fun.

Maybe just have it be a counter on your profile for how many different players have honored you within a certain time frame?

The following option is similar to your idea original poster.

Nice idea! I think it very well matches with the spirit of lichess.org

Would this be similar to how you can give someone a good game award on chess.com/?

Imo something similar to what Overwatch is doing would be amazing.

Something like CS:GO recommendations sounds nice to me. In that game, you can recommend players for 3 reasons:

- Being a good leader/player
- Being friendly
- Being a good instructor

#1 I like the idea although surely it has practical difficulties, especially without making the policy xenophobic (against newcomers).
