what a bunch of nice people, quick to call someone a troll.
Vacations

@Roundyracer
Suggestion: Play games with a 24-hour/move time control. They go faster, the people who play at this time control usually make several moves per day, and the players rarely use vacation time (unless it's a tournament).

Well okay. I have attempted to reason with you with a few solid arguments. Your viewpoint is limited and closed; you have a poor empathy for potential situations and you mock and dismiss others who do not agree with you. Regardless of the case which you present of the person who has aggrieved you, your overall argument was against vacations. I have not used vacations for a long time as I have had no need to and do not abuse the situation - having said that, the mere facility and flexibility makes it easier to coordinate my irrelevant outside life. There is good news for you though, poster, despite a short spell at chess.com you have managed to rapidly categorise yourself: Troll.
Look at the top of the page...It says, I am sure you cannot disagree with this "Forums>>General Chess Discussion". Bully you? No, look in a mirror. The consensus of players on chess.com do not agree with your request or it would not be set up the way it is. Oh wait, do you think they randomly decided to allow vacations, maybe tossed a coin? It was not me that checked your games, please try to follow the thread. I never claimed any seniority, I explained over and over that things were like they are for a reason. Discussion, not your opportunity to sling hate and abuse. Next time click the box that says "Let me rant and let no one else disagree" not General Chess Discussion.

Here is plenty of bull yet again
Your character and venom are known, DonJuan. I believe you would find it hard to demonstrate the bovine you refer to. You do however carry spite and vitriol over from one thread to the next. I have commented in a couple of threads before where my account name comes from and you are hardly original to try to make it into an abusive phrase. If this is the measure of the support for the OP then he is in a worse place than I thought.

your posts are pathetic
calling a newcomer a troll, spitting at the person post after post,
btw the psychology crap is just as bad

your posts are pathetic
calling a newcomer a troll, |...]
Objectively, the newcomer in question acted like a troll.

Well, well. I think I know what your last account was and my it was just as pleasant. My posts are pathetic - debatable; yours certainly do not inspire great thought. The word you missed on your second line was "Eventually" at the start. Post after post I attempted to discuss. I really don't know where you get the psychology bit from - just commenting on obvious human nature traits. I will of course let you have the last word as I know for sure you will descend (again, like on your last account) into sending weird messages over and over, culminating in apologising after you realise you were just on a crazy binge. Feel free to flame me, I will not respond to you now.

Your an obnoxious ass so once again Im asking you to lay off.Personally I doubt in person youd be so bold especially wearing a skirt,so now let the trash really begin,as you and your cronies wont leave well enough alone.I have my opinion which Im entitled too or have you few found a guideline to stop my thoughts.Take your Freudian theories see how far you can shove them.ho down.You will need 6 weeks to keep up.Let me know your work hours so I dont have to wait over a 24 hour period as myself and others just like a speedier game.

hey how about we all get angry on the internet so we can all look cool
no need, you already look really cool when you welcome a newcomer with statements like "you're a troll"

Yeah things get heated sometimes in the forums.
Important to think of turn-based chess as equivalent to ''correspondence'' or the internet version of ''postal-chess''.
It takes ages.... !
@ Roundyracer you have ''live-chess'' ?

Otherwise just be patient.

i hate to break it to you, but you're not all there
... but 3 weeks into 1 game is about all i can stand.
This seems to be the crux of your dilemma. Even if an opponent does not take vacation time during your game with them, a 3-day per move game can take months.
Your current game, a 3-day per move game, is progressing at 1.5 days per move (faster than if they were using the full time control). Your opponent's continuing to go on vacation is annoying, but it's only one game. Put it on the back burner and play your other games. When they make a move, make yours.
