I hope this is the right forum...

anyway I suggest that game's time control can be 2 days/move

I usually like the 1 day/move but on some days I might only get one chance to play on chess.com and I would need to make my move 1 minute earlier each day to avoid time-outs. 3 days/move is usually a little too long and sometimes I will login and there will be no moves for me to make.

I know my grammar needs to be cleaned up but I am really tierd.

Most 3 days per move games take nowhre near that long. If you have days with no games, try playing in more of them.

Or you can buy a membership and get timeout protection, but beware the abuse police.

I agree too. 

I found the same annoying problem with the tactics trainer before I bought a membership -- it said 3 per day, but that isn't true unless you do it like 30 seconds after your 24 hours is up, which is a practical impossibility for most people.  I ended up just accepting that it was 3 every 2 days and just grumble at the "dumb system".

1 day should be 30 hours or something to overcome the problem.

The same problem exists for all day based time controls, so technically there should be something like a 6 hour extension on all day based time controls.

1 day = 30 hours
2 days = 54 hours
3 days = 78 hours

On top of that, there should be a 2 days option ^^
