Is there anything to stop players from setting themselves as being constantly on vacation?

Kinda defeats the object of setting time limits doesnt it?

Is there a solution to this? (Apart from not playing them again!)

each subscriber gets a limit of vacation days, how people ration them is up to them

Hmmmm... Lets see here: Life, friends, work, holiday, children and other obligations in the real world vs. your rating on a chess site...
You're right, man! Kill them! With sticks!
Made of pure pain and evil!

You don't understand. Some people take chess seriously. (but its your choice I'm not putting you down for not taking chess seriously but you souldn't put others down for taking it seriously)

Thanks - I didnt realise vacation days were rationed - that seems fair. I guess I'm unlucky at the moment with my opponents on vacation! Anyone know HOW MANY DAYS we are allocatted?

btw: chess is low on my list of priorities but I try not to let people down by not playing and would not hide behind a vacation setting. I'll use that for my round-the-world sailing holiday next year..... 😛

vacation privileges are one of the most contentious topics. i'd recommend just accepting it the way it is now.
