If you’d like a concrete example to compare and contrast, supposing someone has the idea to reintroduce the flag on a players profile that they have recently timed out of a correspondence game
I think very similar arguments apply as to a lack of control over how the community uses or stigmatises such a flag.
Indeed in the past people have suggested that they found it harder to get games and wanted the flag to be manually removed either because of bugs or because potentially having to wait several months to end a correspondence game to naturally get rid of it was too long.
Reintroducing such a thing, it may sound like it’s helping players who don’t want to be matched with someone who times out, but it’s not clear it’s not just some cosmetic thing, not really addressing any actual issue and instead potentially creating a new stigmatic issue among the community, that we can’t control. (We the people voting or suggesting to implement such a change)
