Member disconnects when losin

It is more than annoying when  members disconnect because they are losing. Here is my suggestion:  If a member does it fairly frequently, then potential players should be made aware of it and given the option to play or not to play against this member. For example a note comes up saying: this members has violated the fair play rules - has disconnected 5,7,10,15 times- - do you want to play?: yes/no

I would prefer this option instead of wasting time and enery with such unfair players.

yep, you really can't your develop you end game skills, because such bad losers . I prefer longer game, because as a beginner I like to think about my moves, but I'm seriously thinking just to play shorter games because this issue. It seems to effect many members, so chess.com might come up with a solution.
