I simply started blocking fair play violaters. It didn't do much at first but, after a month or so I did notice a lot less violaters. Nowadays, it happens less than once every 100+ games. 

This seems to be the best way to handle fair play violators.  Since blocking the few I have run into, the occurrences seem very low.

I thought that netaccess in North Korea was severely limited.  I am surprised that anyone in the country would be granted access to play chess on an American web server.

        I'd set them on fire.

Then who would clean up the mess?

I think they should also keep in mind how long the person has been a member I as a new player am having trouble figuring out how to work the app and keep getting a pop up saying if I violate the fair play policy I will be suspended? does this mean I've been violating the policy

Folks, it's not that hard to tell if someone is playing dirty. Check out the following game when this user (captainnhs) didn't move for 8 minutes then made the 47th move Kg6. The user is do dirty that he/she expected you to leave and then he/she could win the game by timing you out.

Chess.com needs to block dirty players like this or they will loss more honest players!

Or he had something that came up all of a sudden, such as someone ringing his doorbell or having to use the bathroom.  Going through his games, it seems that your opponent plays the entire game rather than deliberately stalls out.  Think about possible reasons why he didn't make a move, or look through his games to see if he habitually stalls out and loses on time, it saves time, and you don't have to worry about posting games like yours, where it gives people opportunities to pick at your mistakes.

Thanks for the comments. I don't usually get upset by people disconnecting. But if someone has one king left, facing 2 rooks and a couple of pawns, and both players have 10 minutes of time left, what can you do?  Yes you can try stalemate, but not after 8 minutes of no action!

It's possible that something came up. If he made his move after 8 min and there was still plenty of time on the clock, then probably he was distracted.  

But if kxlin's opponent waited 8 min and then made a move with only a few seconds left, then he was probably hoping kxlin had stopped paying attention and he would win on a cheapo. I've seen this happen plenty of times. Only a little baby tries for that dirty trick after getting outplayed. 

We can't know for sure because Chess.com doesn't include time stamps in game histories.
