Lose on disconnect

Sort:
WhereWhyWhen

Is this a setting on chess.com that can be activated. In this day and age most countries have decent internet, and it's funny that the only time I experience disconnects from others is when they are clearly beat, never when they are winning. 

These cretins annoy me, as I only come on for a quick game, and you end up wasting all that time, and then abusive messages usually start.

Simple way to deal with it is if you disconnect you lose, simple as. I am sure ICC done something like this when I played there years ago.

I thought chess.com has also done this.

You do lose when you disconnect, it just takes 2 minutes.  :P

WhereWhyWhen

2 minutes when you just have time for a few 1 min bullet games is a long time :) Regardless, it happens it all time levels and it's extremely annoying, you come on Chess to relax, I get so angry I usually message their walls with the fact of what they do. But simple lose when disconnection would be brilliant.

Don't you get the win when their clock runs out?  That's certainly faster than 2 minutes if you're playing a 1 minute game...

WhereWhyWhen

Well you do get the win when the clock runs out, but when they disconnect its not like the clock just runs out, it appears with a red message saying disconnecting and they have the usual 2 minutes or whatever to reconnect.

This is way too funny. Didn't you just disconnect because I was clearly beating you? And here I find a post of you complaining about people doing it ha ha.

WhereWhyWhen

Why lie playertw0, have a shave.

Maybe those disconnectors have a crappy connection like me and can't help that they keep getting dropped every 30 seconds.
