After playing more games here and having been on both sides of the coin in regards to this feature: I see how it works itself out naturally. If they're going to just run the clock down I can bump +15 a few times to let them know it's probably not worth wasting their own time over. They're free to resign whenever they want.
True, but this can backfire if they still refuse to resign, because then you have to wait even longer for the flag.
@ #22: Of course. I was just highlighting that this wasn't anywhere near as detrimental as I first thought.
As for our previous conversations: I told you I'd start playing and putting in time here. I really was just having a really bad spring/summer.
Hey no worries man....this isn't prison, you don't have to do any time here, haha.
LOL...quite true. Site's awesome and a ton of fun and I'll keep donating now and then.
"I don't see why anyone would complain about having more time added to there clock."
It's against the rules of chess to change the rules in the middle of the game. Serious chess players do change the time control after the game begins. There should be a way to turn off this feature. Many people want this problem fixed but so far this request has been ignored.
