The players who are not jerks ( ever ) in play wont be worried about any fair play policy used. The only players overly concerned about any fair play policy used are telling on themselves....
That would be true if the fair play policy was applied...fairly.
Many of the concerns I see expressed in this thread have nothing to do with fair play, only the implementation.
There's no way it cannot be applied fairly. If you are letting time run off your clock for any reason other than thinking to make your move, then you are clearly in violation of both the spirit and letter of any 'fair play' policy. If you are not letting time run off your clock for reasons other than thinking about your move, you will not be in violation of the spirit or letter of said policy.
No doubt I got flagged several times last week in live chess.
In two different pairings, my opponent refused to make their first move for several minutes so I aborted.
You don't get flagged as you weren't the one who stalled.
Since I didn't receive any sort of pop up notification from the server that I'd been reported to the chess police it remains to be seen if I was actually penalized but if I was, that'd be just plain garbage.
Your account hasn't been flagged at all
Sorry IMDeviate, I thought I was doing a quote and edited
I don't need to do research. I need you to tell me what you could possibly be doing that is both not unsportsmanlike and involves either a high percentage of aborted games, a high percentage of disconnected games, or frequent occurance of letting your clock time out while you don't move. Please. Enlighten me. What could you possibly be doing that results in any of the above and can have any possible explanation other than blatant unsportsmanlike conduct?
