I appreciate the timeout protection feature for paid members, but I would like the ability to give a little more time if I think it's warranted. There have been times when the game ended by abandonment when my opponent was probably considering a move in a tough spot or having some connection issues. It could work like an alarm clock snooze button where the player can choose to end the game or allow a little more time. After a little time passes, the choice would come up again. It could even have a "don't ask me again" option to completely turn off the timeout protection for the rest of the match.
You can turn off the auto-claim in the settings on the website. Just doesn't work with tourneys.
