Couln't find this asked anywhere else, so sorry if it was, but are there any plans to make a "no vacation" option available for just normal online chess games, not involved in tournaments? 

good question i would like to know that aswell

I wouldn't like that because what if there is a family trip, and a timeout is impossible to avoid? I wouldn't play in a game like that, sorry to shoot down the idea.

It's a good idea to put out a no vacation seek for those that would be willing and happy to accept.

wouldnt want to play without that option! does he intend to stay home forever??     i dont take my laptop with me.  its not a vacation otherwise!!

 Well, just because you wouldn't use it doesn't mean others won't and it shouldn't be implemented.

This is an interesting suggestion. Thank you.

Even better would be a variable vacation cap that could be selected by the seek creator (zero days included).  All or none is so restrictive and if something urgent comes up the "none" option doesn't afford you any leeway.  I think this is true for the current tournament implementation as well -- I simply wouldn't play in a no-vacation tournament for this reason.

a good idea,as long as the defult option for the seek is vacation allowed so players wouldnt accidentaly lose 35 games.

 great idea!!

Why dont you put it to a vote. And take it from there. Dan.
