Great idea!
suggestion - reporting leavers
Sort:
In Online Chess, you can set the % of timeouts the opponent has had in the last 6 months.
Maybe something like this for live games would work.
You idea is interesting, but I think a lot of people just let the computer match players.
In case you don't know. When someone leaves a game or disconnects too often, Chess.com 'limits' them. Not sure what this limiting entails, but I don't think it is anything that can really discourage this behavior.
It is very annoying when a player just leaves the game when losing. It is quite easy to resign and not have the opponant waiting. I understand chess.com needs not to evict those players but something simple could be done:
I suggest that after several times leaving the game, the player appears as a yellow dot in the New Game window, and a black dot if the player is persistent.
That would help us to screen them out and avoid playing them.
Same type of sanction could be done if the player is reported for offensive language.
I appreciate chess.com work on that matter but i believe the sanction systeme is not strong enough.
Thank you.
