Time running out very fast

Spot on! Due to the terrible, horrible, no-good latency I’m winning games left and right hand over fist lickety split! I hope chess.com totally ignores all the lag complaints and does nothing to fix the “problem.” In fact, i wish they would make it even slower. Maybe then I’ll stop whining about how difficult it is to improve my lowly game skills and finally get to 1200, 1300, or maybe even 1400 by winning so dang many games because of the latency “problem.” Shoot, I’ll be so happy about it I might even come back to the thread AND POST MY JOY IN ALL CAPS JUST TO SHOW HOW SERIOUS I REALLY AM!

And your suggestion has been proved to be a bad idea by multiple members, including a moderator

@speeduptheserver, Speaking of the silent majority, everytime you post a comment stating a real problem going on at chess.com an army of trolls come after you to tell you it is not important, it does not matter, it does not really happen, or speak something completely off the point trying to divert the conversation, the army of trolls are easily identified, they believe they do a favour to chess.com while it is just the opposite, this thread is another example, chess.com has a big BIG problem with the clocks and the trolls are out there to blame the users, ban the users, gag the users deny the evident problem. When you see this kind of attitude you make the question where do they think they are  going ??? Everyone knows this is a problem at chess.com and in other servers and probably more here than anywhere else, why do they keep denying the problem ???They  should do a good exercise of self criticism and start by apologising for the inconvinience. Denying the problem is an insult to the people that come here and see and know what is evident .

The next thing is if fair play is the motto and clocks do not work reliably where is the fair play ??? Worst of all is the attitude of denying the problem means they agree with the cheating ... or ???

I have had this experience countless times but not with 10-15 seconds.  I have watched a 5 second lead evaporate in two moves made faster than my opponent.  I saw once where I had 1.5 seconds and my opponent moved with less than one second...and then I had lost on time as soon as he moved!  Something, maybe many things are wrong, but I will not upgrade my membership.

Lagomorph, you are not reading the comments just offering insults.  I have seen an opponent lose on time when he should have won against me.  Look at the content and retire the ad hominem comments.

This just happened to me a few games in a row in bullet and has happened before, hence why I researched it. Every move I would lose 2-3 seconds, even if I pre-moved. My opponents didn’t seem to have the same issue. I rarely watch the clock in bullet but noticed I kept losing on time. So I watched closely for one game and there’s an obvious issue with my clock. Stopped playing after that.

ive had time out recently when there was still time on the clock. there is definitely something weird going on

Network lag can easily be within the range of 10 ~ 15 seconds, especially if the problem is close to you. (either your router or your ISP)

As a former academic philosopher, I very much like your username.
