Can we get a chess timer sort of thing in ranked matches? Too many people seem to be abusing the timer, waiting until the last second to play anything, literally boring the opponent into conceding. And maybe people have to concede in order to exit the program? Too many times my opponent ragequits and I have to wait the 5 minutes or whatever it is for their timer to fully run out so I can go to another match. TOO MUCH WAITING = NOT ENJOYABLE

We act on players for roping regularly (about once a month currently). Actions vary from full bans to temp suspensions to just warnings, depending on how commonly the player ropes.

Player reports are a factor there, but we also have good data tracking we can use to find offenders without reports (i.e. if you let the timer expire before you lose, we can see that clearly in the data and will warn/ban you depending on how often it happens).
