Hola soy mexicano
Evidently I violated the Good Sportsmanship policy for punishing those who refuse to resign.

In my opinion you should just resign when you don't have ANY pieces left on the board for those with a chess.com rating higher than 1600 and with enough time to think. Because at that level stalemating is probably impossible and people don't learn ANYTHING FROM KEEPING THE GAME GOING ON, it's just bad sportsmanship and disrespect for not resigning.
It just proves not all those who run businesses/ websites have common sense.
Refusing to resign a no-win game to make the winner sit through the entire countdown of the loser's clock is clearly "stalling" and violates "good sportsmanship". The one who is winning can't do a thing about it - and apparently the devs do nothing about it as well.
So if you respond in kind by hence dragging out your win, the loser CAN do something about it at any time: resign. To refuse to resign and then the devs warn you because the loser refused to resign just shows how poorly thought out this reaction is.
Wake up, devs.

I have started telling them that the game of chess was built on good sportsmanship and played by gentlemen and women and that by being a sore loser you make others look bad. I then tell them to move or to resign or I will report 9 times out of 10 they resign. I wrote a big blog on this subject a few months ago under justelliott61970 or on my website wwww.chessandpoems.com

Both are legal, so neither side should be complaining.

Except the guy who was winning and returning the favor while the loser could have resigned at any time was the one warned.

My oponent was around 1600 and was stalemated in dayly chess
You didn't actually read my comment @alexlehrersh did you? The conditions are that the losing side doesn't have any pieces left on the board and I also added that the chess player needs enough time to think(maybe 20 sec idk) to make it very low chance of stalemate. So I still don't see your point here

When someone doesn't resign a hopelessly lost position, I like to mess with them by promoting everything (usually to horses) and making a bunch of joke moves before finally delivering checkmate. They are wasting time and dragging out the game by not resigning so I do the same to them.
I don't ever delay games or stall in any other situation. So I have to assume my doing that caused people to report me and made me get the message below. I'm wondering if this is something that is actually against the rules and they would suspend or ban my account for, if I keep doing it.

It's not a crime to not resign u know
it's stupid though, if you're going to lose and you have no chance to make a comeback, just give up at that point

Abandoning the game and/or stalling is against the rules, but there's no problem with not resigning. After all, even if a player is losing by a substantial amount. They still have a chance.

How can this be a popular topic? If you can win, do it. If you “punish” opponents as you describe, you only encourage them. And look like you lack mating tactics and skills.

This is a dead topic. It was resurrected by an insane spammer saying "bump".

I think perhaps people have different ideas as to what is meant by 'stalling'. And also, I don't think the OP is doing anything wrong or unsportsmanlike by " promoting everything (usually to horses) and making a bunch of joke moves before finally delivering checkmate. They are wasting time and dragging out the game by not resigning so I do the same to them."
He can play the game however he likes. His opponent can resign or try and fight on for a stalemate. Or possibly a mouseslip or a disconnect. Personally, I very rarely resign in losing positions, in the hope of a mistake by my opponent, especially if s/he is short on time. But for me, shuffling a king around in the hope of a stalemate isn't 'stalling'. For me stalling is when an opponent just stops making moves, which is way, way more annoying because they're not playing any more, and then you just have to wait until the clock runs down.
I was about to resign one game where I saw I would be in checkmate next move but I thought I would let my opponent have the fun of applying the coup de grace. I was surprised when my opponent immediately resigned. He had seen that I had him in checkmate on my next move but it was his move first!
My response to someone who orders me to resign is "stop being arrogant and hurry up and beat me."
