For me, I suggest that if they want you to play faster, you could ask them why? Are they leaving the site soon, going on a long vacation, what?

 

Also suggest to them that they can play live chess, or choose only faster moving opponents. If the time control is 3 days/move, then you have the right to use all 3 days each move. If you needed to make a move every 3 hours or so, it would say so.

Tell them you will play faster for $50 (U.S., Rupee equivalent, or Bitcoin). Tell them you accept Visa and ask for their credit card number and expiration date.

If you are even mildly serious about your games, the chatbox should be disabled.

I’m different. I like to leave the chat on and take screen shots.

I know the feeling, I was in a 30 minute Swiss Tournament and of all people, it was a participant spectating my game to encourage fast play.

The irony I was up in material and winning position but my opponent refused to resign so therefore I took my time and converted the win.

Stay focus and play your game. When I play 30 minutes, I am expecting an hour game.

If those people want to you to speed up in 30 minute chess, tell them to play blitz instead
