how do you rate the players who simply let the game expire when they are in a losing position

Hi, many times I play against some players who get into a losing position and instead of resigning or keep playing let the clock expire/disconnect. How do rate those players? The timing suggest it is intentional, but I am guessing there is aways the benefit of the doubt....

Sometimes that happens to me. I would have bad internet sometimes when that happens. Most of the time I believe its intentional.

People who do that a lot get put into the poor sportsmanship pool of players where they get to play only against other players who act the same way.

I think that is a great solution.

I get that a lot, and when it happens, I send them a friend request to cheer them up because they clearly need a friend. Funny thing though, they usually accept, and then I defriend them.

I would most vehemently berate them in harshest possible manner....
