Auto-Resign

I support topic starter. It is quite annoying to have auto-resign pop up after every other 15 seconds that counts down from 15 seconds and just stays at 0 seconds. I have just experienced it in Rapid Arena 10+0 . I just don't get why it is needed - it is not bad connection warning, it is not part of the rules, just distraction. In tense situations it is especially harmful.

It is extremely annoying and needs to be sorted out !!
The crappy thing and one more reason why I stopped being a paying member, is my opponents disconnect and reconnect all the time with impunity, while if I disconnect the auto-resign is both immediate and automatic... Sounds more like a DOS hack they can't or won't fix.

I did not disconnect but the software auto-resigned all the same.
I was well connected.
Lately, while I've been playing 10+0 or something along the lines of 15+10, whenever I'm in a tense situation, and I think for more than 30 seconds, then it starts to "Auto-resign". I mean I get it, its designed to forfeit quitters, and it has been working but for people who just want to analyze for a bit, then it might be annoying.
