Can we have time controls with delay like most OTB tournaments?

Hi,
I've noticed that the majority of online chess websites do not have a delay time control option (only increment) and I really want to see that on lichess.

Thanks for considering my suggestion!
I support the idea, lichess needs some clock innovations. Who knows, they might shoot up?
The site also could easily implement negative increment (e.g. -1 sec per move), which at first blush sounds ridiculous, but actually is an interesting innovation.
Delay feature should be somehow shown in the interface, negative increment shouldn't.
Good idea, I think delay time control would definitely add a variety to lichess.
I'd love to see hourglass added here too - it adds another degree of strategy to the game.
