Please tighten the parameters of punishing players for aborting games

In your world waiting for a game to start, making your move and then getting quit on over and over again by insecure people has no negative effect on somebody? I posted because, what? I had too much time and felt like finding something to complain about? What are you talking about?

Take 7 seconds to read and you'll see that they are talking about getting disconnected from games because of internet issues, not abandoning them when the opponent makes a first move they don't like.
So what you did was see a post title that looked like somebody might have been asking for the opposite and chose to link that in here.
- You didn't bother to read what they said
- If you did and they did ask for the opposite, this approach would have completely ignored arguments on both side and just pointed at the other thing saying, look somebody's saying the opposite, which is a completely worthless way to address somebody else's sincere point

So my question is why? What's the point of your post?

"I posted because, what?" I have no idea why. I watched about 300 of your last games and not a single one of your opponents cancelled a game with you. All your claims are complete bullshit. People who constantly cancel games should be punished with a temporary ban, because it is obvious that they do it on purpose. But if a person cancels a game once and then plays another, then this behavior should not lead to anything. There is nothing wrong with it, as I wrote above. What punishment are you proposing? Banning a person for an hour for one cancelled game? Or maybe blocking their account, if they took 10 seconds of your life, without having anything against you personally and just did not want to play a game against an opening they do not understand? This is about as stupid as, for example, putting a person in jail for being late for work. Stop making a big deal out of nothing and stop whining! I didn't mean to get personal, but the whole point of this forum thread is a waste of time

So, apparently aborted games don't show up in the log. Accusing me of _lying_ just raises the simple question: why would I?
Calling somebody else's properly articulated complaint "whining" is trying to trivialize and dismiss something you're not willing to engage with. It's disgusting behavior.
What I'm talking about is frustrating for me, and is worth my time. If you don't care it's fine, I don't need you specifically to care about it.

They are shown in the game list but they are deleted after some time. Thus you can see recent aborted games but not older ones.
