Unfair advantage in correspondence games by using lichess users and masters database.

I recently noticed you can analyze and add condicional pre-moves.
This is a great feature, saving precious time.
I've noticed however that using that analysis board you can check lichess users and masters database.
How is this in the spirit of a fair match?
I would suggest allowing users to define if their correspondence games could have such aids.

Correspondence games are a modern version of pre-internet play-by-mail games. There is a long tradition of people consulting books, etc. in those games.

so, at least, u should add a question mark to your title noob2000, to be fair...

@noob2000 it says it right here lichess.org/page/fair-play
So everyone knows you can do it

Also having everyone decide their own rules would be confusing and create more problems
the rules are meant to apply the same to all. So we change the rules for all or for none.

Since its really hard for lichess to track if people use books or engines or anything else during that time.
lichess allows the books to be used
