I am sick and tired of people who abandon losing games or just let the clock run, sitting and staring at the screen

Why can't chess.com implement a Fair Play Points system, where everyone starts at 10 and they lose points for abandoning games?

That way at least you know before you play an opponent whether he's a sportsman or a jerk

There's already a system in place for players that do it too often as a percentage of recently completed games.

Then how come people still abandon games. Clearly, the existing system is inadequate and a Fair Play Points system will address this issue

What’s wrong with abondoning though? I feel good if my opponent abandons because I get to win faster happy.png
