How nice. After 3 games abandoned by opponents, I get stuck with a restriction? So now, I have to wait 5 minutes between games? Which means if an opponent does not start a game or leaves a game without resigning, I have to wait 5 minutes again. With the number of people who just sit and never play, this means that I can't play either. Just wait 5 minutes, start a game, opponent doesn't move, the game ends by the server, and then I have to wait 5 minutes.
THE SOFTWARE SHOULD BE SMART ENOUGH NOT TO ENFORCE A 5-MINUTE RULE IF THE GAME IS ABORTED BY THE SERVER OR THE OPPONENT.
Whoever programmed that code needs to go back to Software Engineering 101 and pass this time around.
I don't think the software has changed. How did you make it through 1,827 games without encountering this problem previously?
