why do people accept the offer of a quick game then proceed to take days to complete forcing people to resign this is very annoying

Because they're still following the time control rules, because it's correspondence chess, and because there's no such thing as a quick game of correspondence chess.

Read the site intro. Games can take months.

If you want fast chess play somewhere else.

the point is the offer of QUICK GAME then accepting that offer and not obliging it

I understand what your saying. My point is, don't ask for a quick game in correspondence chess. People like to take their time.

When you set up the game set the time controls to 1/0. That way if they don't move at least daily then you can time them out, not everyone is going to be willing and able to move every day and the ones that aren't won't accept the game offer. Also you should set your move rate indicator thing to daily rather than every few days. Subscribing means that you can have as many games as you want and can start new games if you find your opponents moving too slowly.
