Feature request: correspondance filter

When I want to find a game I have to wade through king of the hill or whatever, casual etc. I can't foresee a time when I've ever want to play anything other than rated correspondence games. It would be great if I could have a filter to remove unwanted types. I can't request one because there the skill range isn't good enough. Because i'm quite close to the default 1500 level I practically always get picked against 1500? players who are either really good or not so strong. So I end up waiting for other players to request a game and then check their score has settled and this takes a while because appropriately skilled players don't turn up all that often.
I recall rated correspondence (edit) variants (end edit) games being removed.

edit: sorry. variants.
I think only the leaderboard stuff was removed for correspondence, not the ability to play rated games.

Personally I think it's a shame it was removed, and am disappointed that lichess refuses to treat correspondence time controls seriously.
Well, it is easier to cheat in Correspondence time controls, and nobody can really check that.
I think that is why they removed it.
I'd assume that the same anti-cheat systems run on games played as correspondence . It's just that the player could get away with it for longer since Ithink that is all done once the game finishes and games can go on for some time
