Request: Ability to set minimum game completion percentage for automatic pairing.

This would apply to any automatic pairing outside of a tournament.
I actually really like this. I'd love to be able to avoid people who tend to just abort or leave games, and I think this would discourage people from doing these things as it would be a longer wait time to get a game if you have a low completion percentage.
the problem is that you dont know the amount of moves the opponent has to do before the game ends, since the game must be completed in order to understand what percentage of the game is completed (this sentence is a little complicated so if u can't understand it, don't worry). in other words, the percentage of the game the opponent played can only be calculated when the game ends, as if the percentage is calculated during the game, it will be inaccurate as more moves are played. maybe instead of a percentage it is a numerical amount of moves.
#3 This feature would not require a calculation of completion percentage during the game.

You're point that games have to be completed to be counted is correct, but I'm not sure what makes you think they were suggesting otherwise?
I am not concerned about the percentage DURING the game. We want the filter to prevent challenges from players with a completion rate less then x. Ie if they have a current percentage less then 80% then filter them.

I think I would set it to 90% personally.
If the advanced search is correct you don't have any rapid or classical gamers in the last 12 months that ended with your opponent timing out.

The last blitz game was the person's only abandonment in their last 30 losses. You let the clock run out more than that.

The person suggesting it doesn't have to have had a personal experience with it to suggest the idea.
