In my opinion you should just resign when you don't have any pieces left on the board(For those with rating higher than 1600). Because at my level stalemating is almost impossible and people don't learn ANYTHING FROM KEEPING THE GAME GOING ON, it's just bad sportsmanship and disrespect for not resigning.

My oponent was around 1600 and was stalemated in dayly chess

You didn't actually read my comment @alexlehrersh did you? The conditions are that the losing side doesn't have any pieces left on the board and I also added that the chess player needs enough time to think(maybe 20 sec idk) to make it very low chance of stalemate. So I still don't see your point here

I don't ever delay games or stall in any other situation. So I have to assume my doing that caused people to report me and made me get the message below. I'm wondering if this is something that is actually against the rules and they would suspend or ban my account for, if I keep doing it.

Abandoning the game and/or stalling is against the rules, but there's no problem with not resigning. After all, even if a player is losing by a substantial amount. They still have a chance.

How can this be a popular topic? If you can win, do it. If you “punish” opponents as you describe, you only encourage them. And look like you lack mating tactics and skills.

This is a dead topic. It was resurrected by an insane spammer saying "bump".

I think perhaps people have different ideas as to what is meant by 'stalling'. And also, I don't think the OP is doing anything wrong or unsportsmanlike by " promoting everything (usually to horses) and making a bunch of joke moves before finally delivering checkmate. They are wasting time and dragging out the game by not resigning so I do the same to them."

He can play the game however he likes. His opponent can resign or try and fight on for a stalemate. Or possibly a mouseslip or a disconnect. Personally, I very rarely resign in losing positions, in the hope of a mistake by my opponent, especially if s/he is short on time. But for me, shuffling a king around in the hope of a stalemate isn't 'stalling'. For me stalling is when an opponent just stops making moves, which is way, way more annoying because they're not playing any more, and then you just have to wait until the clock runs down.

His complaint is that his opponents don't resign soon enough, making him waste his time mating them. Then he "teaches them a lesson" by dragging the game out, wasting a lot more of his own time.
