What if you limit the times that a person can put himself in vacation?.

Let's leave the vacation time as it is. But people will only be allowed to put himself on vacation once every 30 days, so you put yourself on vacations, but when that vacation time is over you can't be on vacation for 30 days. This will help to prevent the vacation abuse, don't you think? 

Another thing, if someone is on vacation, can make moves? And if that person can make move, then the vacation should be automatically turned off. If that how the vacation is working?

Eh I kind of like how it is now, I have things going on in my life and sometimes I will let a game sit even just a couple minutes over the time allowed and I have an auto vacation that switches on. It has happened maybe 5 times already. I'm not proud of making people wait but I do feel as if I make most of my moves fairly quick and I try to be respectable, I feel as if I deserve a couple "having a bad day" breaks, I don't ever let games idle for more than half of a day.

Well, the auto vacation is a feature for premium members only. And ther is no reason for not having it. Actually that would be another reason for become premium. You will have an auto vacation feature while being a basic member you'll have a limited times of set the vacation on.

I get you I guess, People that pay are less likely to abuse the system.

I agree in principal. Perhaps once a week is better though because some people may not be able to play at weekends and 1 day games would overrun in that case.

Bad idea... My computer is broken right now, so I can access internet once 2-3 days.... So I play moves in all games I can, then go back on vacation. If this rule will be in effect, I will have to stay on vacation all the time. What would my opponents prefer?!

I think that a person should use the vacation option if there is absolutely no way that the person is going to be able to make a move over the next few days. For example if the person is really going to be on vacation or be gone. But too just go on vacation for the sake of using it, then there should be some kind of limit to it per month, so that the games that are in tournaments for instance can get done, and the tournaments can progress a little more efficiantly.
