You just can't help yourself, can you?

It has nothing to do with "helping myself". I have already made it clear that I choose to reply. I keep coming back to the thread I created. You are the only one going out of your way. This is obviously very important to you.

Boo!

Because there are too many people complaining about people using their time the way they see fit. Just like criticism, the OP cannot stomach it.

There has been no criticism. Only trolling. People using their time "as they see fit" is a pathetic excuse. Especially when it goes against the chess.com Fair Play policy. So your "argument" is made invalid by the very terms and conditions you agreed to uphold when you made your account. If someone was simply taking a long time to move then I would not care. But when they DC just because they're losing a game then it is a waste of time and poor sportsmanship. As much of a pompous twat as you are, I would even call out someone who did it to you because even you, in all of your uselessness do not deserve to have someone drop out of a game and waste your time simply because they are too chicken shit to hit the resign button.

looks ok to me.

See? I was right. I knew I should have put money on that bet. Hell, with free money, I might even buy a membership.

Twice in a row already I have had people abandon a game because they were losing. They couldn't just resign and accept their loss with dignity. They have to waste my time. And yet there is no way of reporting these players. The only option for reporting is if you are being harassed. Otherwise, you have to simply sit there and wait for the time to come up in which a message pops up saying that the other play MAY HAVE violated their fair play policy and that their account will be reported. Yeah. Fat chance. In the mean time, my time is being wasted by some chump who is too ashamed to just resign. The one time I brought this up to a member of staff was during a 30 minute game in which the other player refused to move. You know what they told me? Play shorter games. WHAT? There is a reason I play 30 minute games. I'm not a strong enough player to play 10 minute games and I'm crap in blitz. I need time to think about my moves. I admit this and I'm not ashamed of it. Why should I have to play a shorter game because other people don't know how to take a loss? And this is why I will NEVER pay for a membership. Why do I want to pay to have my time wasted? There is no option for reporting these people other than leaving a note on their profile. A whole lot of good that does. If this keeps up, I'll just end up leaving the site completely. Chess.com seriously needs to have an option for reporting people like this on the spot because this is getting ridiculous. The last person I played didn't even have a bad connection. In fact, their connection was better than mine. So that is no excuse.

1. You can block members if they just disconnnect after losses/insult you/etc.

2. I'd be very surprised if an actual mod said something like that. Next time, screen cap it. That shouldn't exist.

2. People on the live chess server are notoriously more mean/insulting/etc. than people in correspondance. I chat pretty frequently with people but I still block chat occasionally in livechess due to the number of bad eggs. Try correspondance, especially since 80% or something of the livechess people on this site don't play over 15 minutes unless it's a 15|10 tournament.

3. Join said groups, nicer people. Also, people who are reported in that group are removed.

4. If bad eggs were the reasoning behind everyone not paying for membership, this site would have closed a month after livechess opened. Don't let a few bad eggs spoil a whole box.

Try post 121 for a profanity. Just saying.

Aww. Did the word twat offend your virgin eyes. You pick out ONE SMALL instance of profanity and use it to judge MY vocabulary? LOL And THIS is why I am so amused by you two. You're so petty that I can't help but to giggle like a kender with a new toy. With all of the irrelevant comments you've made, do you really think that this small instance of profanity gives you any weight to judge my diction? You sincerely believe that my vocabulary would be lacking if I had not used the word twat? Bwahahahahahaha Please, gallant sir knight, keep going. You're almost as entetaining as the book I'm reading.

Aww. You're going to jump on the troll train now, too? You switched sides awfully quick. I'm not going to block a couple of chumps for something as stupid as trolling. They're just too much fun.

I've already had similar suggestions and I'm looking in to it. Thanks. Now I'm just having fun with the trolls.

Why did you delete your comment? Is it because you're a jackass and you realized that I used the word diction properly?

Missed that word OP. Try 121 for another one.

I said it once, I'll say it again. Petty. You're going to pick out a couple of profanities and try to use it to judge my vocabulary? Ahahahahahaha! Some people might think you're an insufferable twat but I don't think you're insufferable at all.

So sad.

Yeah. I'd be sad too if I were you. Don't worry though. If you ever learn that going out of your way to lob insults when you have nothing productive to add only leads to making you look like a petty and self-conscious loser, then you will not have to worry about being so sad when someone like me comes along and allows you to keep making a fool out of yourself to the point that you stoop to nonsensical retorts such as, "At least I don't use any naughty words!"

I think a lot more than your English failed you. I never denied using profanity. But it is obvious to anyone who reads my posts that I have no reliance on it. I also don't need to browse trolls' profiles and ratings for ammunition. They give me all I need in their comments alone.

You tell me you are going to Minsk but you want me to think you are going to Pinsk, yet I know you are going to Minsk. So why do you lie?
