There are many many situations where I wish you would identify an early resignation by my opponents and your app does not. Why intentionally do so incorrectly in this case?
Clicking the home button incorrectly resigns games

Yeah it's stupid. I had the same. Guy was taking ages in a boring position and I forgot to open a new tab to go to the forums.

Have messaged staff and don't think there is anything they are willing to do about it.
Even a 'Are you sure you want to resign the game', button would be preferable.
Seriously, I'm getting tired of all the little tweaks that seem more like harmful trial and error, or meddling, rather than thoughtful improvements.
Right, Scott. It's like, here is an interaction that is fully manageable and they terminate the game without notice.
And yet I have to sit and wait for two minutes for my opponent's game to finally abort. Or, I can instead give my points to an opponent with a dozen comments about aborted games on their profile, who is obviously intentionally rude.
Games currently get marked as resigned when clicking on the home button. This is probably the wrong response. It is certainly unexpected by me. If you decide to leave this "workflow" in place, please warn the user before proceeding.
