Yeah, but some of the stuff he described counts as sandbagging
Evidently I violated the Good Sportsmanship policy for punishing those who refuse to resign.

oh ok
Deliberately running out of time is sandbagging since you are losing that way
Deliberately running out of time is sandbagging, deliberately running out of time in a lost position is stalling.
I think that he was sandbagging
I've ran out of time in winning positions from brain fog/freezing, being unable to decide what move to make. Enough with the sandbagging crap already. I've lost like 300 rating points this year despite trying my best, one mate in 5 I missed is still psychologically nagging.

I was in a hopeless position, but I didn't resign because of STALEMATE. I don't get how you could get mad at someone for not resigning. If they don't resign, checkmate them. If they do, whatever.
But games like this are why I don't resign: Chess: TJCAR vs CoopVegas - 93142944781 - Chess.com

I'm not. I'm just saying it's weird to be mad at somebody for PLAYING THE GAME.

IF SOMEONE DOES'NT WANT TO RESIGN IN USLESS POSITIONS THEN THERE IS ONLY ONE DECENT WAY TO CONTINUE, PLAY THE BEST MOVES POSSIBLE TO THE GAMES CONCLUSION, PLAYING VERY POOR MOVES TO EXTEND THE GAME IS INSULTING TO THE GAME AND THE CHESS GODS!!
[Do not promote cheating; DS]
it was pretty cool how I broke the system though
Delaying game? So if you ignore a way to win thats called delaying game? Lol.

I was about to resign one game where I saw I would be in checkmate next move but I thought I would let my opponent have the fun of applying the coup de grace. I was surprised when my opponent immediately resigned. He had seen that I had him in checkmate on my next move but it was his move first!
My response to someone who orders me to resign is "stop being arrogant and hurry up and beat me."

In my opinion you should just resign when you don't have ANY pieces left on the board for those with a chess.com rating higher than 1600 and with enough time to think. Because at that level stalemating is probably impossible and people don't learn ANYTHING FROM KEEPING THE GAME GOING ON, it's just bad sportsmanship and disrespect for not resigning.
It just proves not all those who run businesses/ websites have common sense.
Refusing to resign a no-win game to make the winner sit through the entire countdown of the loser's clock is clearly "stalling" and violates "good sportsmanship". The one who is winning can't do a thing about it - and apparently the devs do nothing about it as well.
So if you respond in kind by hence dragging out your win, the loser CAN do something about it at any time: resign. To refuse to resign and then the devs warn you because the loser refused to resign just shows how poorly thought out this reaction is.
Wake up, devs.

Both are legal, so neither side should be complaining.
If I'm not wrong, sandbagging is rating manipulation, right? Not dragging out games.
