Daily Games without a Vacation Option

Why don't Chess.com have daily games without the option of "vacation"? The way some players take vacation during games, is really bad sportsmanship.

You have 2 games where your opponent is on vacation. In neither game are you completely winning and could your opponent be accused of stalling to prolong the inevitable. It's a feature of the site, no explanation is needed, players can use their vacation time as they see fit.

It's been requested multiple times before. I don't think I've ever seen a staff member mention if it is something that would ever be added or not.

  1. I am not referring to my current games but in general... 
  2. it would have been nice if I could have the option to choose,  to play against an opponent where no vacation is involved.

To give an example...

As we have the option to play rated or unrated, I would like to request an option to play a game with, or without vacation.

I would LOVE this option. I hate the vacation mode, sometimes players are "on vacation" but you can see that they are playing live or just other games. Nonsense

Think of it as a vacation from daily games, not a vacation from the whole site. But OK, it would be good if an extra option was added so you can choose in advance.

in tournaments, you can select ’no vacation’ for a no vacation game
