Something has to be done about vacation abuse.

I started a daily (3 days per move) game on October 6th. It's now November 26th, and my opponent has made six moves. The first two were made in 4 minutes, after which he went on vacation every time after going two to three days between moves. It might be conceivable that there is a legitimate reason for this,  except for the following fact. Since October 7th, he has been on the site practically every day, and has played no fewer than 508 bullet games!!!

There should be a provision that if someone on vacation comes to the site and plays any game, vacation is suspended for some time. I would suggest one day, but even just allowing the actual time spent playing to run on daily games in progress would be an improvement.

At this point, I'd settle for the option of being able to abort the game. This kind of vacation abuse is insulting and infuriating. Five hundred and eight games, mostly while on vacation? This is inexcusable.

This situation is offensive, but it is difficult to split (divide) vacation even for the chess.com)). In any case, time is also a weapon.
