Disconnection suggestion

Sort:

This is a simple request that could relieve a major irritation.  Put a voluntary "i forfeit if I disconnect" feature in, that players can sign up for.  Allow everyone to filter on this feature, so they have the option of playing those who have agreed to forfeit on disconnection.  I asked about this in the help chat room, and got a very courteous but totally useless response.  This seems simple and easy to understand.

Please respond -- I would really like that feature.  I know that disconnects are  irritating enough that I am about ready to return to ICC because of them.

Isn't the game automatically won after someone is disconnected for more than 3-4 minutes? I know because sometimes I accidentally disconnect, maybe because my internet is slow. Sometimes I can reconnect before I automatically lose though. Personally I wouldn't want this feature because it might make it harder for me to find someone who want to play me in live chess.
