who else reports people for abandoning or quitting

Everyone does. It's a bannable offense (or at least, it's supposed to be).

Is it bannable? From what I heard for people that stalling or abandoning the game get played with player that have the same tendency as them and do not get banned, maybe wrong, though.

I don't think the sanctions for stalling are strict enough. Apparently people who repeatedly stall/abandon games are penalised and prevented from playing again immediately, they have to wait a while before they get matched with another opponent. But I'd like to see more serious sanctions. I don't advocate an outright ban, but maybe a suspension, a week to begin with then 2 weeks the second time.

People waste their of time and mine by not resigning when dead lost. They are stopping themselves having further fun or improvement. It doesn't annoy me, rather it surprises me. I just do something else while the clock runs down. If you meant abandonment, that's another annoying thing as it takes longer to resign (if it activates the auto-resign feature that is. If not then the clock can run all the way down, which is a nuisance). Stalling is much worse than abandonment though in my opinion.

I agree. I report. I never abandon games. I always resign.

I also favor much stronger penalties for stalling, as a player of the 10 minute game. One opponent made me wait 8 minutes yesterday. That person did not resign, and he did not abandon the game either. He made a deliberate choice to keep the game session active just to make me wait 8 minutes for the next game.

I agree, again, that the chess.com team is not taking stalling and abandonment seriously enough. It adds to up to a lot of wasted time for us players that bother to follow the rules.

Please take action chess.com team.

I used to report people for abandoning but then…

Always, but I don't know if chess.com takes it seriously or not.

Abandoning is the biggest disrespect

I do. Every...single...time. and I block them. Life's too short to waste time playing pouty poor sports

And to the guy that said sometimes it could be a lost connection: yes, and chess.com can review that and deem it excusable. It's better than letting a pouty pouty poor sport to keep on keeping on

I agree it’s terrible to just sit there and let the time run down or abandon just resign . Over the board people don’t just walk away

I report every single south american player I play, Im not a racist or have anything against people from south america, but in blitz, these dudes from brazil and argentina play like machines every single time, super fast and accurate, anytime I face brazilians or argentine people, it is a guarenteed loss pretty much every single time
