Unusual Time setting: Canadian Byo-Yomi Blitz

As the title said: Could we get a warning sign in the game list if someone opens up a challenge with Canadian Byo-Yomi Blitz settings? It feels a little bit like a cheat, because if you aren’t aware of this obscure time-setting, and accept the game: You’ll very likely to run into a game where your opponent plays time-sujis to make you loose by time.

You can get a pretty good time-control and flexible time management for players. Set a bit longer period and more moves, makes it more flexible (since some responses like yose and joseki don’t have to think, where they can spend more time on really hard moves). 3 mins per 20 moves will guarantee a game with 180 moves always finishes within 9x3 = 27 mins, etc. (usually they end much earlier, since players normally won’t play to the last second per period).
