Vacation

Can someone tell me what is up with this "vacation" status?  Granted most of us get on to the site while we are at work or at a place where the last thing we should be focused on is a chess game.  But why start a game if you plan not to finish or move three of four days later.  I am speaking to those who go on "vacation" one or two moves into the game.  I don't have many pet-peives but this is one that's growing with me.

Perhaps if someone creates a status of "vacation" and they don't come back, they lose half of their rank and are banned from the site for a few weeks so they can really enjoy a vacation.  Of maybe you can create an option before the game starts that there will be no "vacation" option.
