Sore losers

Thanks for the replies and solidarity guys   I think you're missing my point though steve_bute.  If you continue your argument, should we question the point of having scores at all? 

lol 

That was a cheap shot >< 

I would point out that chess.com ratings are not valued (1) for any purpose outside chess.com, and (2) for few purposes inside chess.com. For me it comes to what I value more, my time or my rating, and the choice is easy: my time. There's no way I will wait someone out for more than a couple of minutes -- I'll resign and start a new game, because I come here to play chess, not to sit watching a timer count down.

It is annoying though to watch people not move for 20 minutes I usually wait them out while doing something else

Although chess.com ratings aren't important, it's a good way to track your own progress if you're trying to improve. If you're going down in the ratings due to resigned games, you end up playing inferior opponents and not really stretching yourself. Whatever you do, it's a pain in the backside when people act like this, but it happens a lot, so I guess you just have to deal with it. Console yourself with the fact that these people almost certainly have no friends.

Yes I do.

Oops.

if we block players, we can't play live chess against them?

I personally dont care how long they take as long as they are still playing, but these is a certain sub category of players who will, after they have made a game losing blunder, obviously just sit there and let their entire time run out to punish you for their blunder.

 to punish you for their blunder.

yes, there are these low lights on chess.com just never play them again

To clear the confusion, yes this has been repeated many, many times!

Yup.  Maybe there should be a forum dedicated to analyzing and voting on games people post illustrating where a chess troll has pulled that stunt, and if enough votes indicate they're a troll, something punitive or embarrassing occurs.

Or maybe for every one of those 'violated chess.com policy' messages a player, gets, their opponent can quit mid-game without losing any points and without the troll gaining any points, with the tally of outstanding demerits made against the troll visible to all.

Or for every abandoned game or violation the troll loses some ELO rating for bad sportmanship, just like there's a penalty in other competitions for fouls, etc...
