Many players stall like this. I have notice 9/10 players most of the time will abandon or stall, rather than resign. It is a strange attitude. When I am lost I will resign to save my time and give myself a chance to play another game to redeem myself.

That's actually a really good point. I do the exact same thing as you. If I lose a game I want another game ASAP to vanquish that 'losing' feeling.
I checked his page straight after his time ran out and he started another game 20 seconds later, probably thinking... "THAT will teach anyone who beats ME!! Suffer!!" 👹

At the end, it’s somebody who cannot resign properly but you do not even know this person (anything about him/her). So, it’s better to be pragmatic.

You're right. I'm not going to bother reporting because it happens so often Chesscom would have to ban a huge chunk of members, which won't happen. But the 'forget' advice is my new philosophy. Have a cup of coffee and enjoy the win! 😁☕

That should be the last line in a Hollywood Blockbuster! 😂
I recently switched from 10 minute games to 15/10 because to my 'ageing brain' 10 minute chess feels like a game of 1 minute bullet. But there seems to be a major downside 15/10. In my last game I had a won position fairly quickly, and my opponent clearly took the huff and let his final 10 minutes simply run out while I twiddled my thumbs (metaphorically speaking).
I assume there is absolutely nothing anyone can do about these ignorant and petty types, except be thankful we aren't one of them?
