Novices need to prepare more realistically, meaning actually practicing the move sequences, over and over again, needed to convert the point. Otherwise they won't be sufficiently prepared to apply them in their tournament games (where it would be ridiculous to complain if an opponent doesn't resign "soon enough"). I can understand expert and stronger players expecting the respect of a sophisticated opponent resigning a lost position. But novices simply haven't earned that level of respect yet.
If I could learn and understand when a lost position goes past the point of no return and needs to be resigned at the age of 8, then anybody can understand it. Novices are not dumb.
"Ok, I see you are rolling my lone king down the board with your two rooks using the correct technique, and mate is imminent. Good game. Another?"
Simple.
Extreme imbalances are easy to joke about, but most positions are unclear. When in doubt (for whatever skill level), the simple and logical thing to do is play on. If a player has a "won" game, it should be a simple matter to finish off the opponent (Too impatient to implement basic technique? Maybe chess is not for you). Remember, we were discussing players like the OP who are around novice/improving player level.
