I stall in winning positions to take a break and calculate my future moves. 60% resign with this strategy when they are losing badly. ;-)

Beat to report if people are abusing this function
I never understood why this is against the rules. Yes it is annoying, but if you play an X min game, then it means you agree that you will spend your next 2X minutes on that game

Stalling is pretty annoying, but if they are stalling I am winning so I don't care.
I am very tired of the stalling and Chess. com doesn't take this problem seriously, in a nutshell they don't care. If they really care the people who stall should loose a lot of point for stalling. The reason that they're stalling it's because they are obsessed with their rating.
It's so deceiving for the honest player, some people will say just wait, no we shouldn't have to wait. When you have to wait aprox 10 time per day it get frustrating.
Chess. com, is very good and very fast at censuring people. I am talking about the people who will tell the cheater that he is a........... Chess.com should understand that at point one might loose patient.
Also the harassment of the simpleton who ask you 10 time in a game to draw. I am talking about the Bozo who loose their Queen in the beginning of the game, just don't like their development, or the person who has attack you constantly and the suddenly the person is loosing.
I known there is a feature, where you click don't show draw anymore, where you don't have to decline anymore, but in the chat you still see the simpleton who is going to ask 10 times in 2 minutes.
This app is awesome beside those problems. To the simpleton who cheat, stall, you will never learn to play well.
I forgot to ad don't let any staller get away if you can. Some people have rating above 400 and more, you see their rating and you say to yourself, i am gonna have to work hard on this one.
No. First move a pawn, second move the Queen and third the bishop. After a couple of move, mister or miss Simpleton who has been playing the same thing, over and over, realize that know he or she is going to have to play a different way. Oh what can i do now, oh i will stall.
Queen and bishop i could take anybody, i am Bobby Staller.

I always report stallers. I used to get messages from chess.com saying they had taken action on my report, but this stopped a few months ago. It seems like they are no longer punishing people for stalling. Or at least they aren't punishing as many of them. Every day I run into stallers and report them, but it seems pointless.
Same
I'm having this issue with someone in a daily game. They are clearly in a losing position. They'll make one move, and then turn on vacation pause. That causes all of their games to pause. But later, the same day, they might make a move, and then after my move they may wait a day, and then again go on vacation pause. I think there should be a restriction that after coming back from vacation pause, the pause cannot be used again for a number of days.
