Some players use this as a discipline.
They do it by habit to avoid blunders.
No bad thing.
What do you think of players who takes 3 days to make every single move?

However lost positions should be resigned immediately.

I'm still playing against someone who is a Queen, a Knight and a Bishop down, and now facing mate in one. I really don't care if he doesn't resign. Sooner or later I'll win and it doesn't matter when that is.
I'm playing a guy, ( another site ) 3 day moves. He moved once or twice a day until he blundered a knight, then he went on vacation for 2 months, although he still logged in regularly, then took the full 3 days per move, vacation for 2 weeks, same again, another 2 week vacation, back to 3 day moves, yawn!! he's completely lost now and I'm about to queen, twice!! and all he has are pawns, still he's dragging out every move, perhaps he's hoping i'll keel over and die before I can finish him. Just as well it's not a 14 day timescale or old age might just get me first.
So childish! The funny thing is that he is only prolonging his own misery but thinks it's worth it because he imagines you suffering.
Should but be able to finish him in a dozen or so moves... about another 6 months then.
