I want to report lord-parham for time wasting. I had mate in 1, queen and king vs king, and he let the clock run all the way down whilst posting smiley faces. Is there a way of reporting ?
Such behavior is automatically monitored by the site and is considered a violation of the Fair Play rules. After several warnings, the player is put into a pool with others like himself where he gets a taste of his own medecine.
That seems like a pretty good solution to me.
Your archive says it was a 2 12 game. I can't imagine you had to wait for more than a few minutes. (In your 70 move game, each side would have 14 minutes total but I guess if your opponent played his moves extremely rapidly, you could have had to sit for a while.)
You can also always disable chat.
// By the way, you can report him. I don't believe that his posting of smiley faces qualifies as "abuse" but maybe they'll send him a reminder to play fair. The contact form is on the Help and Support page.
// Second reminder. You are not supposed to make accusations like this in the forum. That is considered "naming and shaming". You would do well to edit his name out of the forum.
//The usual practice is to leave a note on his profile page warning others of his behavior. That seems to be allowed.
