There should be a designation on someone's win/loss record when someone just quits and refuses to move in one game while continuing to make moves in other games.
I know that life happens and sometimes people lose their access to computers and can get timed out - I'm not talking about those situations.
But when I've got some punk beat - and I can clearly see that he's making moves in other games, while refusing to move or concede in my game, that's bullcrap. I refused to claim the skull, but a win by timeout was eventually "awarded" to me. I deserved a checkmate victory or a submission. More importantly, the punk in question deserves a clear, distinguishing blemish on his record for acting like a coward.

He acted according to rules, he didn't do anything against the rules of chess nor RHP. Yo won and you're not happy?
What if he gave up the game, and you didn't get the well awarded check mate, would you be as angry as now? You shouldn't. Exactly the same situation. He gave up by abandoning the game. You got the point and your rating, and he didn't. Why would you want to punish him more than that?
Don't be angry. You won. That's it.

Is so no different to this.

I see now why people consider these forums an absolute waste of time.

You have taken enough timeout wins - are we to assume you did so because you were in a losing position? After all you are moaning about a timeout win when you were winning the game.

You're not just a whiner, are you?
