Just claim the win on time. I'm pretty sure you don't get any rating points for games under 4 moves.

I don't mind playing new players, but a large % of them can't remember to come back to play / correspondence chess.
I have my settings not to claim win on time.
But I also don't want to have the game sitting on my active games long after they missed their very first or second turn, nor do I want to up my rating by empty wins... that just makes me play harder players over my head and I don't want that, I'd like my rating to be more accurate than a technical up.
I'd like to hide their game until the Chess.com site decides to clear them out, because those "a few minutes left" games block out all my other still real games.
