Haven't you come across this before? How long have you been playing on the internet? The worst ones just say "move" without any further comment, that sure is annoying.
Actually, I haven't come across it much - but the first time I did it was just as you describe: move ... move ... moooooooove
I just ignored that guy.
DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why are you posting this? Deal with your own CRAP!!!!
Just looking for some enlightenment, that's all.
I've had the same thing happen to me recently, all I did was point out that the game has a 1 move per 3 day, and if that live chess is fater. This was with a brand new member and I was playing greeter. The rest of the game went smoothly after that, we finished the game in 4 days.
"Why complain?"
How hypocritical!
Not that there's anything wrong with your complaining - if you admit that you are being hypocritical. He did ask politely, after all.

Ha! I don't mind admitting it... however, my question is actually an earnest one: why complain about something (taking a "long" time between moves) that you have control over entering into (move length is one of the specifications for any tournament or game)?

Too much 
The most honest comment in a long time.
onosson, by any chance, do you or did you at one point edit wikipedia? I was wondering because the symbol is used there.
Actually, I was just "emulating" html tags... </reply>
no offense intended here ;)
Was your opponent new to the site? I recall politely asking my first opponent to move, because I perceived chess.com as a place where people play games in realtime, and they only have one game at once. Then I discovered the beauty of correspondence.

I hadn't thought of that - but he is new, only 6 games in so far. I guess that explains it!
Yeah, the only time I've been asked to move faster (I move pretty fast) is when I'm playing greeter games.
i find the faster i move , the more inclined i am to make an error. The more games i play simultaneously, the less i seem to commit to any one game. Take your time and focus on the game in hand. Less is more
i find that talking to a player lowers their rating some, and i need all the help i can get.
I always get annoyed waiting for my opponent when they take over a day to make their move. I make sure to respond within atleast thirty minutes of when my opponent makes a move to keep the game going at a reasonable pace but it seems that some people dont share my enthusiasm. Of course I never tell anyone to move faster or anything, I simply bottle the resentment up inside and let it stew .
I'm assuming you meant at most 30 mins, since that fits.
From your Online Chess profile "Time/move: 1 hr 24 mins".
well within 30 minutes of when I see it haha
