Why call self troll im confus

What's to figure out?  People disconnect, sometimes intentionally, but you can never know with 100% certainty which it is.

Padman's the troll, and if he can't figure the disconnect issue out himself...well, he could try yahoo.chess. That'd be more his level.

1. Block them

2. Accecpt that fact that for some sitting behind a computer being annonymous gives a certain sense of stupid.

There are a lot of pathetic people that play live. It is so rampant and obvious that people walk away or disconnect a lost game that I say if you get disconnected and can't get back on then TOO BAD you LOSE. It is not that common to just get "disconnected". Get a new service if you do. Chessbase has a place to rate the opponent on rudeness and fairness. That would help.

Nope. You're the only troll here. Anyone can see that.

Actually, OP's concern was not just about disconnection (other 2 concerns indicated in bold in case you have not noticed). Your comments failed to address these concerns. Disconnection is the least of the three evils because, If disconnected, the chess.com server waits just 1 min before awarding the game to the OP. 

Again, his question was how to handle those players who cause these three problems "on purpose" and you lectured him that disconnections can happen any time by giving a poor example(See below), while you have only been playing 1 min games (without increments) on this site. 

"For me, it seemed to occur most often when I was winning and somehow I was blamed for abandoning a won game (and got scored with a loss)."

Also, I do not understand why would your opponent blame you for abandoning and losing a half played 1min game which you should have won. Seems fishy, as its hardly a few seconds wait.

Yes,well of course I for one have always been in favour of bringing back hanging and this type of offence epitomises it,or.... does it really,really matter think about it.

I have played many people that have been racist, bigoted, and hateful. When I have reported these people for abuse- the most the moderators do is send a warning... which IMHO is not enough. If you engage in the aforementioned behavior- you should be banned.

If I were moderating a site like this, I think I would react similarly. For one thing, it is usually impossible to prove that somebody was acting in that way, unless chatlogs are saved. But more importantly, people tend to act differently online than in person, even when there is no justification for doing so. It is a mistake that can often be remedied by a warning.

Repeat offenses are different.

Why do anything about it. I love winning like this. Mental t-bagging really.

Agree.  Just use the opportunity to take a break, come back and savor the victory.
