Bad Sportsmanship

I feel like once the original post of a thread is hidden - either the OP deleting it or it getting downvoted out of existence - that the whole thread should be deleted as well, because it makes way less sense when the 2nd poster inherits the thread...

Pretty sure an initial post can't be deleted anymore if there have been replies. It could be edited still.

i've never heard that bevore... and it never happened to me. report it and ask the stuff about it.

Nearly everyone seems to resign after losing the queen I have won many games after losing my queen and lost many after winning their queen, it is childish to resign IMO although sometimes I may do it if having a bad day but mostly I play on .

Thank you archaja for your advice on reporting clock cheating, but how do I report it and to whom, where I can be guaranteed that my report is seen by human eyes who can investigate it??

The real bad sports are the ones who lose their queen and then just stop playing.  Resigning is an honourable way to end the game.

Your opponents can't impact your clock or connection. What was described in the previous post sounds like a disconnection from the live server process.

While you can still report the game itself, to see if they can see anything else, it won't be from your opponent.

Never understood stalling.  It doesn't change the result of the game, and it doesn't 'punish' me with waiting, since i agreed to the time control to begin with.   I go to another site or grab a book.  When my opponent does make a move i get an alert sound.  So if just sitting there somehow gives you the 'moral victory' keep on doing it. 

its just funny when people get mad when i do it lmao

I have had the same things happen in atleast 4 games, where ill be one move away from checkmate, and then all of a sudden i lose connection, i realize people do lose connections, but all 4 times it happend to me i was literally checkmate in 1, or their clock was getting down to 20 seconds when i was completely winning and i lose connection, normally i can play for hours and never have an issue, i reported those games but ofcourse never hear back. But what on earth time control were u playing where ur clock ran down 40 minutes, that makes absolutely no sense. If ur clock ran down 40 minutes, you could of just dosconnected and reconnected and finished your game???

1.) If you loose connection and it´s your opponents move, his clock is going down till he makes a move, not yours.

2.) It´s a common human problem to stick to the negative accidents and to forget the positive, or neutral events. I doubt that there are only 4 disconnecting events in your chess career and that all these events where, when you were just 1 move away of winning.... If yes, show us these games, please. You just REMEMBER these annoying events more then the other disconecting events.

3.) Unless your opponent (and in your case I think 4 opponents) have a troyan or virus on YOUR computer it is not possible to disconnect somebody else maybe 10.000 kilometers away. If that would be possible, we had heard of it. Has somebody with computer skills ever heard of such a thing?

4. The OP does not mention that he/she was losing his/her connection.
