Can someone please explain the etiquette here. I’d like to report players who abandon a losing position rather than respecting their opponent and resigning with dignity! It’s very rude and disrespectful; like walking away from a game without acknowledging your opponent.
Is there a specific term for this kind of behaviour? I mostly play blitz games. Is it only an issue in this format?
Thanks

No, it happens in any format

And yes, you can report these players

Just to be clear, do I report this as “other”. I’d like to know if there’s a specific word for this type of rudeness. There’s no verbal abuse or anything like that, but merely a discourtesy.
