@The-only-Mr-T saidThey are, but infrequently, and as more of a housekeeping process.
Are clan challenges auto timed out after a certain length of time?
@The-only-Mr-T
I'll run it now.
I know initially I didn't expect people to hold off timeouts in clan challenges - but as you say, this should be automated.
@Russ saidNice Catch Trev, I have noticed the club and tournament games auto time themselves out after 2 days that the skull has been showing but, The Clan Challenge games always had to be Clicked on. I had thought it was to make it more like Chess over the board, no one tells you if your opponent ran out of time, you have to call it. I think on here though it is as very good idea to auto time them out.

@The-only-Mr-T saidAGREED completely. well said.
How about setting them to all auto timed out after a couple of weeks or so? I don't want to ask people to take time outs but at the same time it's annoying if it's been a month and can't get a new challenge set up.
@Russ saidI believe it is because people don't check to see if they have a skull up.

@Very-Rusty saidIt's the way the site has the filters now, I just use 'my move' and never check the other games. Especially if you're playing a lot of games, can easily miss the time outs. That's why I think they should be automatic in clan challenges, maybe not 2 days like in tournaments but a week perhaps. Sucks if a challenge is decided on a timeout... Massive blunders are much better 😄

I don't like losing on massive blunders or on time-outs. A week is a good time to auto time out the Challenge, but the player should notice it if they care checking every day. I check and carry a lot of games plus play on two other sites. Of course the only work I do is dialysis 3 times a week. 😉

Is it now in effect?

@Russ saidDid you run it? Still see clan games without a move in over a month and Meds was talking about a similar thing in site ideas.

I been thinking about it and I think 2 days after the skull appears in a clan games is long enough. The only thing is the person could be sick or unable to access a computer which would be the unknown factor.
I wouldn't time out a friend in Tournament or Club game, but then Clan Challenges are a whole different thing, as you have other people depending on you.
