Don't understand the purpose of this feature unless the bad sports get suspended. Do they?

I think they get lumped with other similar bad sports when it comes to being paired for a match

A happy player of chess is worth the adventurous common game, which displeases many or all, or none or nothing, this pleases rummaging through remnants or creating new chances and choices, sharing the witless or wilful rubbing or traction or subtraction of ideas, ideals in chess games, for fun, nonetheless, annotation celebrates the game, so add ons help a good game, maybe introduce more, chatting, converse options, whichever you guys or gals like, i just play online for the fun sake, =funs' sake, as a cure of myself, forget

To me getting mad about a game declined is like the people who think you can't walk away a winner from a poker table but you have some sort of obligation to let them get back their money.

I beg to strongly disagree, but i respect your opinion. And,  I don't get mad (I am almost 48 and something trivial like this will not make me mad). I just don't like this behaviour.

Anyway,  the point I was trying to make is that "Bad Sport" is subjective. What might be "bad sport" for one is perfectly acceptable for another.

I wonder whether someone from Chess.com can tell us whether there are any consequences. (I don't use this feature whether I like the behaviour or not)

I would prefer to be able to put an automatic response at the end of the game thanking them for the game,it's not very nice to tell someone who blunders the game away "Good Game".  

That is exactly why the loser has to say: "gg" when he resigns, not the winner. In a lot of games it is outright rude to not do so after the game. It is like not shaking hands after resigning your game in the chess club.

I've probably only answered it about 3 or 4 times, usually when my opponent disconnects or similar.  There's no reason I would ever click Yes, and very few reasons I'd click No.  The rules of the game stop my opponent from playing illegal moves and I have no idea whether my opponent is using an engine or not.

In theory couldn't someone say I was a bad sport if I resign a game after losing a rook or queen if I blundered it? I wouldn't want to seem like a quitter.

Don’t worry, ur not alone... I always do that... especially if it’s near the beginning of the game and a blundered my queen

Some people probably click No every time they lose a game, it's a typical online thing.

LOL, all valid opinions. IMO trying to postpone the game to get more queens to "show off" deserves a downvote or anything else that is "unsportsman like conduct". players tend to do this after they FEEL that the other should have resigned. At the end of the day, downvote me and I don't care. Try to make the game go on when you have plenty of pieces to win and you will win by time (while I go smoke).
