Just a few weeks ago, a couple of times, with my great pleasure I saw a system warning appearing in the chat window right after seeing yet another "leaver" leaving without resigning. The warning said that leaving without resigning would result in a temporary ban. Then I thought to myself: "Finally, they got it, halleluja, they are doing something against these lazy selfish people who can't even press a button to resign before quitting their loss games, who don't care wasting their opponents time."
Then... stop. Not anymore. Leavers keep on leaving, no autoresign, no victory claiming option until 2 or 3 minutes passed (in a 5 minutes game!). Why?
I checked a couple of times what my leaver of the moment was doing after leaving, and I found him on TV already playing a new game, with a new opponent, while his time with me was still running. Why does Lichess allow that?
I tried chess.com just to check how they are dealing with the problem and I found a nice 30 seconds autoresign feature. Why can't Lichess implement at least that?
But I don't understand, it would be so simple: while you're playing, you tap the back button, or any other function that let you leave the board, and you get a warning: "If you leave, you loose the game right now. Confirm?"
Please, Lichess programmers, do something. I like Lichess far better than chess.com, but I'm tempted to move there just not to waste my time anymore on leavers. Thanx.
