Players who leave game just after it starts.

So I was just playing this standard 30 min game with this guy rashidallam and after I made a few good moves, around 10 minutes of both our time, he stopped moving. I had to wait 20 minutes for the game to end as I didn't want to resign. I went to his profile and saw a few others who posted notes there that he had done the same with them. Why does Chess.com allow these kind of people to play?

That's a good suggestion.

I'm sure the activity described requires a certain rhythm.

I always wondered what you had to do to get a free membership.

Woot. This is an important issue.

So important that there's literally been well over 100 other topics about it.

If it's that important then why aren't people that do it reported and penalized for it? Take points off their ranking, publish a list so others won't make the mistake of playing with them.

It's one of the big reasons that so few people chance playing live standard chess here (in comparison to the number of blitz and bullet games). I know that some people may just be on a big think but I don't know why they can't implement a move timer and ask a simple Y/N question "Still there?" after 5 minutes or so to confirm that people are still thinking and declare a time forfeit if someone doesn't answer within 30 seconds.

It's not like we're playing serious tournament chess here.

I would play live standard chess more if I hadn't been left hanging out to dry several times.

You agreed to let each player have 30 minutes each. How she/he uses her/his time is totally up to her/him.

What she/he is doing is not against the rules. So please tell me why she/he should be punished?

Why would I need to have played a game here in order to know what it is like to wait 25 minutes for an invisible opponent to move?
