I think it's a poor practice for the site to expect an opponent to send move reminders. I feel it is not my job to babysit my opponent.
Can't the RHP robot send them instead?
War is war loser
I don't even bother anymore now, even with someone I have been playing for years, I will send them an e-mail or PM instead.

That, my friend... is BULL!~ Flag drops, take the skull if you like.
Others have also said skulls should be forced automatic. That's also bull, since an apponant and you might agree to a bit of extra time in a good game and busy life getting in the way. That's Bull too.
Don't even get me on the subject of vacation, or whether or not chess is a sport.

I guess I just wonder now if it would be possible to have the bot send them to players that would like to receive them.

Not being one to take skulls, I personally like being able to send a reminder.

Chess is not a sport; it is a game.
Chess, especially at top levels, can be highly strenuous. In fact, chess players have been known to lose weight during their games. (eg - Karpov, after his match with Kasparov in 1984)
