disconnect policy is absurd


I Agree partly..........
I do think that the current disconnect policy is stupid if you disconnect for like 10 seconds you lose. But I do think it necessary to have a disconnect policy. Otherwise in rapid games, a game can go on for fifteen minutes depending on how long the time control is. I think they need to move the disconnect for longer then one minute you auto- resign, this will solve quick problems such as accidentally deleting your browser but not leaving someone waiting if your internet disconnects.

Disconnect timer is influenced by the overall time controls.
