disconnecting from games

Could anyone please explain why some players disconnect from a game. It then runs out the clock and it is labeled abandoned. No one wins or looses. I have reported some people for this because it seems that this is (quitting) a game. Is it also a strategy to keep your rateing from being affected? Is it a way of cheating? I find it very frustrating. It seems to always happen just when I am winning a game.

Early in the game there is an option to abondon. Doing that all the time is not allowed, but sometimes it is needed.
