Fair Play Points

Sort:

Chess.com does not do anything to players who abandon games. 

Why can't they have a fair play point system, where a player loses some points for abandoning games?

That way other players can know who the frequent defaulters are.

The system can start with 1000 and delete points for abandoned games

The site does have something like that.

Players that abandon/abort/stall too many games, as a percentage of recently completed games, get restricted.

Another person who just abandoned a game and let the clock run for almost 4 minutes

Chess. Com has bigger issues than this to deal with. You're still winning the game

this is why I play mainly blitz and bullet matches, because I will only have to wait for 3 min maximum. I am trying to boost my rating in rapid, and I know there are some jerks who will intentionally make 1 move so you cant just abort the game, but most of the time it is worth it to wait. btw, if you like my account send me a friends request.
