Please don't add time to my clock when I'm low on time

I play blitz in part to learn how to play under time pressure. I can't do that if you relieve the pressure whenever my clock runs low.

Also, I play rated games. Rated games are supposed to be at least a little serious, and so I feel they ought to have some basic rules of decorum: no takebacks, no added time. If you add two minutes to my clock and I win the game, my victory feels cheapened, much as it would be if I had to take back a move. Exceptions can be made to both of these (in the case of obvious misclicks in the former, and obvious disconnects in the latter), but they should be just that: exceptions, not the norm.

You might think you're being polite when you add time to my clock without asking, but you're not. Please, ask first.

i think they just skipped that useless button for mobile

you play super fast like ASAP you move you stop the timer ASAP.

You seem to have missed this part of my post:

In other words, I think granting more time should be done more often than never. Just not much more often. (I routinely give more time to my opponent when they have connection issues, myself.)
