Make new ruling to avoid stalling , this is on line chess and new rules can be made!

If you're such a forsooth (sayer), @forsoothplays maybe enlighten yourself about mental health ,a good start is the film ' as good as it gets' peace up SimonBirch xxx

If you don't want your mentality judged, then I suggest you stop volunteering information about it online in a critical context. Nobody needed to know that you suffer from schizophrenia. Nobody needed to know that you prioritized a chess game over your friend, either. And nobody needed to know that you get your ideas on mental health from a work of fiction.

on the other side of clock spectrum; i received numerous warnings for stalling in rapid gams when with few seconds on the clock i failed to make move.
Or i got paired with an opponent that is offline and fails to start the game, he receives a warning for failing to ply, but he is clearly offline and not at fault.
can these two unnecessary warnings be eliminated?

@grafterascal
I agree that the first one is unnecessary. The second one is debatable. If he's offline because he changed his mind, then he should get a warning for not withdrawing his challenge before logging off. If the disconnection is accidental then I see your point.

You are so right......
I'm only vocal about my mental health for other sufferers out there. So that they know they are not alone.
I'm guessing you have never suffered with mental ill health.
God forbid you ever do, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
I'm sorry you felt the need to get involved and shut me down.
Wishing you peace and happiness for the future , all the best SimonBirch

You're guessing wrong, of course. Everyone suffers from some kind of mental health issue, and I'm no exception. There's nothing unique or special about that. The question is what each of us chooses to do about it. Some of us decide that making the rest of the world accommodate our neuroses is selfish and endeavor to be more intentional about moderating our own mentality, putting the needs of others ahead of (what we perceive to be) our own needs. Some of us decide to use our neuroses as weapons, squeezing sympathy from people and demanding special treatment, and justifying childish behavior. The choice of which kind of person you want to be is yours.

...But the choice is yours. You have agency in the question of your own mental health. Never let anyone tell you otherwise.

You only have hope because I'm still 'there'

You only think this way because you suffer from paranoid schizophrenia. If I wanted you to keep us in an adversarial relationship, why would I go out of my own way to help you enjoy online chess more than you do?

Prexactly.

Exactly what? Explain yourself.
