I m sure you will find a solution to your extreme hypothesis.
I advanced some ways if you wanna read them.

- Hanlo's razor: ?
- “the unbearable wait they talk about lasts about a minute, maybe two.”
I already answered: in total that gives me 16 hours. And then every time it causes annoyance.
- "I had to wait twice for 30 minutes because my opponents withdrew from a tournament without withdrawing or stopping. Did I write rants for discussion, asking for them to be banned for life , pilloried or, preferably, burned alive? Surprise, surprise... No, I didn't."
Good for you if you like wasting your time. there are always masochists.
But don't criticize those who try to improve things.
- “Think about it for a moment...”
we didn't wait for you to think.

Yes. Things often look different from other side. There are cases which are obvious - but those are not nearly as frequent as you claim.

Good old "summing over Earth/lifetime" trick? Come on...
> Good for you if you like wasting your time.
I didn't say I liked it. I just did not overreact, rant and ask for draconic punishments.
> But don't criticize those who try to improve things.
What I criticize is that "improvements" would make things worse.
> we didn't wait for you to think.
...and yet I did. Did you? BtW, who is "we" here?

Castration would be an appropriate sanction for letting the clock run down in a losing position.
But since these players have no balls anyway, probably not feasible.

No. The guy in a difficult position might take some time to think, sure. But it is not the preeminent occurrence.. In this case he plays before the end.
Additionally, we often see "your opponent has disconnected. you can claim victory in... seconds."
The simple reality is that, like kids, they are angry and don't play anymore. They do not admit defeat, and eventually take revenge for what they lost. “ Ah, you'e winning over me? It’s unbearable for me. Well, you’ll wait.”
We also experience this in everyday encounters. The guy doesn't shake hands, doesn't bed his king. Sometimes, I've experienced it, he gets up, knocks over the pieces, pulls down his pants and shows his ass. It's just ordinary and so frequent, vanity.

I went in the wrong direction.
In fact, as Lichess does i guess, just consider not the number of times a sore loser has been blocked, but simply the number of times they have received a "warning, x, letting time pass instead of resign etc" message.
And like that your whole argument about the risk of someone being blocked for the wrong reasons, by a group of mysterious people hungry for his loss, falls apart.

I think letting time expire is great.
It's the best troll move, especially when you are playing anonymously. The opponent is moving at 200kph, then BAMN you just stop moving and make them wait for a minute.
The sensible players resign, and start a new game, but those who cannot accept defeat wait for the clock.
It's great. It's my number one move in anonymous.
It's even better when you are winning and you suddenly stop moving :)
That really gets their blood boiling

So it's you!
You are the one that has been terrorizing anonymous players for the past year. :)
LOL.

And this is exactly why I mentioned Hanlon's razor. Your problem is that you are angry and automatically expect the worst in people and assume that they are always "letting the time pass" on purpose and should be punished the strictest way possible.
It already happened to me multiple times that I got so focused on the position and calculating the variants that I completely forgot about the clock until the time ran out. I'm not happy about it, it already cost me few games (sometimes it happens even in winning positions) but after not playing with clock for over 30 years, it does happen. I'm trying to change it but at 50, the mind is not as flexible as it used to be. And knowning that there are haters like you who would immediately assume the worst, block me and demand that I should excommunicated with shame does not really help.

Yeah, sure, "everyday". You really expect me to believe that?

If you dislike waiting till your formal victory, why don't you resign to spare your time? You know that you have truly won, and points with ratings don't matter.
