I lost a game when my computer lost my connection. Does the chess.com system here have any way of recording that you lost your connection?  Is it recorded that I might have pulled the plug? I did not do that, of course, but how is that happenstance treated by the chess.com system?

Since there's no way to tell the people who have connection problems from the people who have attitude problems, it's a loss. If it happens very often you may get some minor restrictions on playing (since intended or not disconnects are no fun for the other player).

Why am I involved in so many aborted games, when I play on time.  Could it be a slow connection as well, and/or the ads taking time to load in or blink off?
