A plague of abandonments?

Hi. Almost every person i play just abandon the game if they are loosing instead of resigning. Almost all of them do this every time they are loosing. Why are you not banning these people from your site chess.com ? Its totally unreasonable that people who break fair play are allowed to do it over and over again . Just look at my past games youll see how many people are doing this every time they are loosing. Are you not going to do anything with these accounts ? Just let them ruin the experience for people playing fair ? can someone answer me this plz cause if nothings being done then i see no point in staving on Just to play bad sports. im sure youd get a lot more paying members if you could Just weed out the people abandoning lost games. My guess is many dont want to commit to paying membership till you show you do something to fix the problem . What say you ? 😃Have a great weekend all 😃

It does look like you had 25 abandonment wins in the last month out of 898 games. That is a lot.

But you play an awful lot of games. 25 out of 898 games is annoying but doesn't seem to me to be an epidemic.

Chess.com does have a sportsmanship program in place. I hope you reported each and every one of them. When someone accumulates enough reports, they get penalized by having delays between games and they get put into a special pool with other players who do the same thing.

Some of them are partly your fault.

@justbefair LOL youd be surprised how often that works. What do you mean my fault???? Its my fault opponent abandon game because he played to quick and lost the Queen? C mon thats just stupid

Why are you not banning these people from your site chess.com?

Why indeed.

It takes time for chess.com to ban players, they first have to register the result, then check if they are repeat offenders.

You can't just ban a player because they abandoned 1 game in a month, they have to see if it happens over and over.

I think anybody who falls for that would feel so stupid that he might quit.

The staff also blamed me for a different issue. The staff are trying not to get exposed because if they do get exposed they might lose a ton of profits because people are not going to come to chess.com and on top of that they might lose more money in a lawsuit. Why does the chess.com blame others when you know it is your responsibility. This is my case: I disconnect every day and chess.com blamed me for the the problem.
