In a situation like that can't you just get the td involved?
People who let the clock tick down

But I suggest two other aproaches. one being that forced moves should be done by the computer if not compleated after a few seconds. IE in situations where a player has only one leagal move.
this ofcourse being a super easy example of when people quit playing and start leting the timer run down. If no move is made within 5 seconds there realy is no reason the computer should not do it for them.
My second suggestion is a simple popup that appears if no move is made in lets say 5 minutes. You have thirty sekonds or even a minute to press it and if you dont you forfeit. If you truly are sittting there thinking you will have no problem pressing the button, but the duche who left the computer after realizing he was loosing wont.
The reason why those things dont happen is because an outside source is interfering in two players chess game. They are reasonable ideas but some players will be annoyed at pop-ups or someone moving their pieces. Perhaps after a reasonable amount of time on the move, it is logical. Like program the site in a way "if a player has only a bare king, then pop-up after 1 minute". Certainly the sanctions for such bad behaviour should be higher, so as to avoid it in future. I know of a few kids who have left their games running because they have to get offline (parents orders). These kids need to know the rules also.
But for now is it so hard to block them after you win and then move to another player? Does this situation happen regularly?
[COMMENT DELETED]
Yes, this happen a lot in lower level ranks, as in my case where i have to "deal" with people playing his first game and go like "f*ck this game and this dude, i'll just let the timer run to get a bit of a 'compensation' for this loss" when they hang a piece o are about to get mated.
Chess.com should credit me with 400 extra points so I no longer have to suffer the petty whims of people in this rating bracket.
I just had one do it to me now 20 bloody mins he/she let run down then just disconnected in last minute. This issue really does need looking at by chess.com.
If you agree to a certain time control before the game begins, that means you agree that a player can use as much of the clock on any move as desired. In OTB games, it's not going to affect the starting time of the next round so it doesn't do much to you except cut down by a small amount the time you have to relax, eat, etc. between rounds.

That maybe the case in OTB and here too but players on here can get away with running their clocks down just to be a douchebag. I don't think many OTB players would behave in this manner.

FOR GOODNESS SAKE.
Read the rules once.
These players are automatically reported. They don't get away with it at all.

In an OTB tournament, one of my opponents thought for 1 hr 20 minutes and then resigned. I didn't care... it was his time to use as he saw fit.
I had an opponent like that...just before mate in 1! 1 hour later, he presumably got bored annoying the neighbouring board and played a move.
