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.

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

@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.

Itsw not your place to reason. As it wasnt your place to judge.You made a mtn out a mole hill.Go back and read my very first post.Now go and survey how many others feel. on the subject.You chose to try and bully me bercause Im new,however you have found me not to be easily intimidated.I m not trying to tell you how to like your games,but you and a few strange bedfellows insist,so be it.Understand this I dont give a fat rats hinny what you do,nor I some of the ones who support you.I like what i like and thats that.You have yet to address the very opponemt about a move vacate and so on after you checked my games.Ill choose whom I play with and now what are you and yours gonna find wrong with that.By the way Im playing relatives also online and we like what we like.So as they say in some parts piss off.Im betting Ive got more free time than yourself to carry on.Dam you and your senority.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yo, Roundy Racer.  How are you and happy Labor Day!  Any way, would you like to play a friendly "on line" game with me?  Either three (3) or five (5) day time control would be preferred.  You seem like a cool guy.
