Lichess should automatically auto resign games where the opponent thinks for more than 10 min.

If your opponent does this than the system slowly catches on and will start auto resigning for them earlier. They are also get a ban warning and if they do it again will get play banned.

Sorry you were unlucky and played someone who did it for the first time. The system will not be changed since if they increase the autoresign then it will start giving more false positives than the devs would like. Imagine people complaining that the site resigned for them while they were thinking.
Exactly! Who are these people who think that they should deal with a house fire instead of playing their chess games to completion first!

Look, FIRST finish the game and THEN go feed the baby. It's not like they're going to starve inside the hour. Show some consideration for your chess opponents! Chances are that's all it was crying about anyway; after all, they know better than to play with things like scissors and stuff.

I think it's inconsiderate for someone's frisky wife to interrupt our chess game, but I understand. Please try to plan your games more efficiently, the next time, so we won't be interrupted again.

See? Proving a little bit of grace is not hard. It's easy. It's best. People like that stuff. Grace, empathy, consideration. People should try it more. It works very well.
But what if a person really loves to think and then after 10 minutes he loses?
