I thought, "War is war." Now it's, "War is war, if you'll be kind enough to wait untill I get back from vacation?"

Yum, softis! http://www.ingman.fi/tuotteet/jaatelot/spiceice/lista.asp

The idea is that you can have a non-timeoutable vacation for a limited amount of time, i.e. not like now when you can put up the vacation flag whenever you want. I don't think it would slow down games much, and it would allow you to enter somewhat fast tournaments even if you might be on vacation and unable to move in a year or two.

I agree that it is a good idea. 4 weeks per year is what most working people get for vacation. It shouldn't have too much of a detrimental effect on other players.

Of course. Everyone should be entitled to have a holiday at least once a year without worring about losing chess games. Not surprisingly over 1400 people voted for this sensible proposal, which is more than twice the number who voted against. The vote was initiated ages ago. The result of the voting has been clear for a long time, So why are the site admin silent on this issue?

Ok, but I would still say 4 weeks a reasonable vacation time. Maybe a vote for how long it should be. 🙂
