warnings: letting clock run down

the warning for letting Clock run down is sometimes anoying, especialy in blitz and dangerous positions. Sometimes you have to think!!!
I think that only happens when you've been thinking for a long time, at least 30 seconds, maybe longer. If you're running out of time, you shouldn't think for 30 seconds, you should quickly make a move to avoid losing on time.
ok, better let be check mated :-))
thats a nice idea, i will better loose on time than make bad moves
If it actually talked to you saying 10,9,8,... aloud
when you have that many seconds left, that might
be useful.
Don't worry, you won't get a temporary ban unless it's repeated. We try to only penalize players who intentionally let their time run out instead of resigning.

@Assios It will be repeated even if it's never ever intentional. The presence of the threat is sometimes more dangerous than its execution. I don't recall the exact words from My System.
@finlip Like I said, we try to find out if it’s intentional or not. We look for more than only repetition.
