Why doesn't chess.com create a maximum time for each move? In 30 minute rapid for example, The limit could be five minutes. I've never had to think longer than that even in the most complicated positions. That rule would avoid an enormous amount of annoyance that occurs for no good reason other than immaturity. Can you think of any downside to such a rule? Does anyone know why chess.com Doesn't institute this obvious solution?
Can we STOP people from STALLING?

After a certain amount of time the clock should reduce by 30 second increments, or something to that effect.

We've complained about this a million times and chess.com absolutely doesn't care about it. Stalling is not only annoying, but it also permits the opponent to use the massive amounts of time to add the game onto a cheat engine. I've had several games where the opponent is losing and then takes a 3-4 minute pause, and suddenly starts playing like a grandmaster.
I including many others suggested several times to simply add a time limit per move (such as 1.5 or 2 min) at least at a certain stage of the game, to prevent this issue in such a simple way. Every time, they come up with silly excuses such as "we've seen games of top chess players who need extra time in touch situations". Can somebody remind them this is a casual mobile game and not a freaking world chess tournament? People here commonly player a 10 minute game anyway, and naturally they don't have the luxury to take so much time for a move anyway. It seriously baffles me why the heck would they not have such a simple workaround for this. Simply add a time limit per move for games with short duration so that casual players don't suffer.
I've had several instances where the opponent loses a lot of pieces early in the game, and then instead of quitting or continuing, proceeds to run down the entire clock which is usually around 7-8 min. Such a long time just to troll their opponent.
I also hqte when iget bored i resign and they win without anything
That's their goal for you to resign I don't because then they just look dumb

@tomaswamy They stall in the hope that you’ll resign. You are just feeding the frenzy.

Everyone is stalling in my rapid 10|0 games when they are losing!
I undoubtedly have come across many occasions where the person in your opposition gives up in rage and loss, but wants to punish their opponent just for devouring any hope of them winning. In annoyance the winning person has to wait until their opponent loses on time or they lose on game abandonment. During the stalled game, the winning person has to wait many minutes in boredom and time is lost. The people who have stalled to me occurred most when I was in lower ratings, but still bad sportsmanship still happens when someone is losing in utter anger.
I'm not blaming everyone, as most of you are nice. But I'm just asking if there is or will ever be a way to stop this insanity. The stalling people usually take 5-60 minutes. In my rapid games (for getting trophies for leagues) stallers often annoy me because this is wasting my time. The time that should be used to play chess.
Please stop.

I had this one time on lichess, it was m1 for me but my opponent didn't wan't to make the move and just let the time run out.. I kindly said that he knew it was mate and admit the defeat.. he didn't so I gave him up to 20m extra time until he finally made a move so I could checkmate him.. Nhaha at the beginning I was a bit frustrated but after a while I thought by myself if he want's to play it like this.. I also can... I waited for over 20min until he finally made a move.. so the unevitable mate could be played ..

The fact that till this day they haven't implemented the simplest and easy solution to this problem, i.e. time limit per move (e.g. 2 mins) is beyond all understanding and human logic.
Yea because today I was playing the best game out of my life, I was completely wining and would have mate really soon, he made me wait 3-4 minutes before resigning like it wasn’t hard to tell he was going to lose
