Yes if reporting does not work, sometimes posting it in the forum does.
Throw away the attitudes - playing till the end is a players right in chess. Chess is not some high and almighty sport. Baseball almost always goes to the end and they have plenty of lopsided scoring. Honing your skills at any level is always important. Not quitting sets a good example for students who are learning the game. I have won games on this site by resignations and the game was not completely decided. Resigning is fine but playing to the end WLD is fine as well. Many chess reviewers try to show how the game would have ended but the truth is left unplayed(Fun to watch). How about Kasparov vs IBM? He resigned and it was not completely played out. It would have been fun to see the whole game - lost opportunity for chess. Everyday people like to see chess played till the end. Cheers and play on!
Posting in the forum does not work, no. At best you risk getting banned yourself.
#89 A friend told me he managed to make computer play instead of him. He never told me how, even if he did, I would probably not understand. It was more than 10 years ago... He said he used it sometimes on some server, not here. And when he used it, he had the time to notice the clock and said that many players were cheating too - with clock. And when I went to that server, I played some slow maybe 15 minutes chess and I also noticed that something is wrong, my clock was going down too fast. My friend is a good chess player, we played once and he won.
My thoughts:
I don't mind if people do not resign if they play on in a reasonable speed. In those cases when you're 10 points above, finishing usually should not need much more than 10 moves anyway.
And even people above 1900 do blunder a lot, especially in won positions, because they get unaware.
ANd yes, everfybody has got the right to get mated. These are the rules of the game.
I don't like it when they take much too much time in dead lost positions, though.
Sometimes I see some player's king is in great danger, checkmate is unavoidable, they spend some time, make a move anyway and they get mated. If I see checkmate is unavoidable, I resign, before I get mated.
If you want to play till checkmate, fine. It's a personal choice. Resignation is not your obligation. So in general I'm ok with that. Stalling the game on purpose, just because you feel spiteful, is another thing.
Personally I resign games because:
1. I don't enjoy playing out games where I can't do anything while my opponent plays routine moves to win. Even though rare blunders are still possible, there is nothing interesting about the position anymore. Obviously levels matter here. Routine win for a GM could be unclear endgame for me, and routine win for me could be 50/50 draw for a beginner.
2. Because of opportunity cost. Chess is not my #1 hobby. I don't have unlimited time or energy to be used for playing chess. So the 20 minutes spent for playing out clearly lost game, I could spend for playing another game (or training, analyzing, etc). I don't care much about my rating these days, but even if you do care about yours, I bet in the long run you'll gain more if you give up the 1% chance of stalemate for a new game or learning about chess.
3. I don't see my opponent as my enemy. I hope we both enjoy playing, perhaps analyze the game afterwards, and play again in the future. Making the experience as fun as possible increases the odds that we'll become friends and end up having more gg's in the future. Given all the BS that is happening online, I value regular opponents highly.
But again, if you want to play till checkmate for whatever reason, it's all good. Don't let anybody bully you into resignation.
