People use that feature when they're away from home and its still possible for them to move from various computers wherever they are, but the display the flag because they cant guarantee theyll be able to get to a computer to move on. if they do, great, but no guarantees. however, i am inclined to believe that people do abuse the featureand just display it for kicks so others wont time them out.

Am I the only person fed up with playes displaying the vacation flag but continuing to move?
It should be possible to bar a player from moving when displaying the vacation flag.
It's not a crime to take a holiday, nor is it a crime to break into someones home while on holidays and "borrow" their computer for a few lousy minutes....oh...wait a sec.....forget that last part.

I have to take a rest by medical prescription. A week ago I put the flag. Today I will make some moves, and after that I must to return to bed. Which is the purpose to put off my vacation flag, only for a few minutes? My ill condition persists. I think I'm being honest. Do you think I'm acting wrong?

Thanks Nikki. I have to rest in bed for a week or two more. I'm really bored, so in spite of the medical prescription I'll make some moves from time to time, and I'll try to post in the forums.
I appreciate a lot your post. It makes me feel better. And less alone.

I couldn't care less if they're up and dancing in their graves...never mind moving when on vacation.

I wonder if perhaps there could be multiple categories of holiday flag. Personally, I never time anyone out anyway, because I figure my rating will eventually end up where it's meant to be if I play honestly. The only time I'd time someone out is if their game was taking up space because they hadn't moved for ages (which has never happened so far).
