I know maybe it is an attempt to stifle those who join games and then just leave in the middle of it...
I was playing in a tourney and the settings were 3+2 I believe.
We would make a few moves, and I began to think.
Suddenly it let me know that if I did not move in 15 seconds (or whatever the short time was), it was auto-forfeiting me.
It did this to my opponent.
Once or twice I overlooked it, but after seeing it multiple times in the tourney, it began to be distracting.
Is there a better way to deal with the issue of folks leaving mid game than to keep spamming them reminders to move?
