... how can a person start losing then decide to go on vacation without the other persons knowlegde or consent?...
Don't forget he's probably playing other games and may be he's going to win all of them. Don't think he's trying to hide from you. May be he had to go somewhere - chess.com's life is not his only life!
My opinion: going to vacation is only his business.
I think asking the vacationer to provide an Expected Return Date (optional) is an excellent idea. Usually, you know more or less how long you'll be on vacation, and this gives your opponent some idea of when to expect you back.
But I don't think taking a vacation should require consent. That just means when I need to make a business trip some of my opponents will say no and win free rating points (regardless of whether they were winning or losing).

How can I show the community the game so you can see why I say what I said?
How can I post the game so the communtiy can understand why I say this. this person sat and played althe way up until this losing position then desided to go on vacation. why not just be a man or woman about it at the on set of the game say.. "we may not be able to finish this game because I'm kinda rushing out. instead of waiting until your losing then just push teh vacation botton. I know what going on befor I get on line I know if I'm playing one game or 100 games this is why the site gives you three days to do what you have to do agree or not?
It seems to me that if there is a limit on how long a player may take vacation, then the solution is already implemented. It strikes me (from my week on this site--and my years on similar sites) that this is a turn-based chess (aka online correspondence chess) site. In the old days of postcards and telegrams, correspondence players spent two years and more on each game. Finishing a game in days, weeks, or a few months is lightning fast.
If I must wait out a vacation to finish off my opponent, so be it.
Did it ever occur to you that a few of these alleged abusers might actually be on a vacation?
If they are on vacation, then they will come back and finish it. And they do not need to tell anyone here that they'll be going on vacation unless they want to.
If however they are abusers, just be patient. Eventually their vacation time will run out and you'll get your win anyway. Just start up some more games.
They have a system similar to this on playchess,but it doesn't keep me from playing those I dislike or distrust until I choose to ignore each one individually.
well i also have a game where an opponent is out for a vacation for more than a month now. the game is about even but still its a good game to missed. what bothers me is that when i last checked out how long vacation days is left for him its just less than 3 days and then when the month changes, he had another 30 days left and i think he will be on vacation forever.
What ever it is, I think this vacation feature is required. Otherwise say you have some other ur own stuff where you can't find sometime to concentrate on chess, so you need it.
But having a way of complaining about this type of players would be great, since that lead all of others know about him before starting a new game with that person.
peace chess family, I have a bone to pick. I think there should be a botton to let a player know if someone is going on vacation. I was playing a game I am going to win, the person I was playing saw this and went on vacation. he or she knew this before the game started so why do I have to wait for them to not come back to the game?
there should be a botton to say can we postpone this game for how long and it should be agreed to. if anyone looks at this game they will see this person have no intent on coming back or just decided to stop playing becasue they will lose. can someone fix this?
or how can I send in a complaint? I think I shoud get the win and be done with it how can a person start losing then decide to go on vacation without the other persons knowlegde or consent? it should be a agree thing. if anyone else agree with this please let me know, maybe we can put in a complaint with the server to fix this problem.
