So I see by the discussion all the ( mostly well founded on either side ) pros and cons the developers have to think and decide about - no easy job for sure - and a compliment to them for taking all the trouble.

I was actually advocating a non - HARD CODED & handmade pop-up solution.... I like well-worn SOFT solutions: The equivalent of a crayon/ marker & cardboard box sign that could be flashed when needed. Dio_gd will be dealt with on the other thread

Yes, I agree with the original poster, I want a disable 15 seconds button. It is usually used just to annoy your opponent

I'd disable it for rated games if I could.
