When I get down a number of pieces I will usually resign. Since I play daily tournaments I am always the lowest ranked player and if I get down so much I know I can't win. it seems like a waste of time to keep playing.
I have looked at a few of your games, and you play at a level where major pieces and good positions are thrown away with no real conception of how chess can be played (being honest, not meaning to offend; a better player than I would say the same of my games). So it is perfectly reasonable at your level to play on for a win when you are a Queen or more down. In the same way I will play on if I am a P or even minor piece down if I think there are opportunities for pushing my opponent into a mistake (also taking into account their time pressure).
But general chess etiquette is to resign if you are in a losing position that you would expect your opponent to comfortably finish off, bearing in mind their ability.
To complain about players resigning early, or not offering/accepting rematches is just silly playground stuff, in my opinion.
It's an interesting one so i looked it up. The customary code of polite behaviour in society or among members of a particular profession or group.
I guess everything we do (most things!) is a choice. Nobody has to resign. Although i'd rather someone resign rather than run the clock down as a way of annoying your opposition who you've just lost to.
What do you think CalculatorKid?
100% but if it's a choice between a resignation or your opponent not moving and letting the clock run down, have you a preference?
When I win, I go on and seek a new opponent. When I lose, I go on and seek a new opponent. Sometimes after a game I pause to analyse the game if it was worth some extra attention. I do not understand at all this obsession of rematches. And I see no honour nor dis-honour in playing one match or a series of matches of whatever length. Threads such as this one really puzzle me. Why does anyone feel right to judge me or others for choosing how to spend our time and who to play against and how many times?

If you've blundered "a number of pieces" nine times out of ten it's a loss. If one is down "a number of pieces" then as far as learning goes, you're far better off using your time to resign and get on with analysing, because the real lesson to learn is why we got ourselves into that situation in the first place.

You're guaranteed the win if they resign! So you'd rather be kept waiting yes?
...I also hate it when I get close to a win and loose,and the winner just disappears. If we have a close match then(to me ) a rematch is a must....
Someone who declines a rematch is NOT a "quitter." He/She has absolute NO reason to have to play a rematch.
You seem to think that somehow your honor is at stake against a particular opponent because you lost. That is WRONG thinking! You are going to have good games and bad games against many different players - it all averages out and your ability shows up in your rating.
I don't think I've ever played a game without 3 blunders. Somehow I still win some and lose some. That's why I keep playing until the end. You never know when your opponents blunder is going to be bigger than yours.

Depends who you are playing. If you are playing a poor player you won't learn anything from how they close out the game.

Absolutely, it is worth your while to carry on. But please respect your opponent's right to decide it is a complete waste of time.

Plenty of poor players beat other poor players. The majority of players on the server are poor players when compared to master level!
When I see that I have no hope, I usually resign, assuming that this is more respectful in that I am not forcing the other person person to spend the time making several more moves. Perhaps I am wrong? Would people prefer that I play on until they win by checkmate? I really would like to hear some more opinions
I'm probably not going to make any friends,But I feel that if you start a game you should play to the end. Win,lose or draw.
Well yes,and whilst doing so ,why not listen to some of the music here
