Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
I want to end the game, but with full ELO results. I know this game has no time limit, but the other player is deliberately not playing to avoid the ELO penalty. So I'm happy just doing the Thumbs Down with a recommendation that other players avoid him, and that option is not working.

Report history
I note from the forums that he's been caught cheating previously (using multiple accounts to boost his ranking), and before he red thumbed me (for trying to warn other players about his behaviour), I noticed he currently has 150 or so active turn-based games. I suspect a lot of them are in the same situation as mine - he's not taking his last turn if he's about to lose, and there's no time limit (my mistake, I was just trying to learn the game, I'll never join one of these with a stranger again).
This behaviour should not be allowed. I don't know if you can block him from starting/joining games with no time limit, or maybe you can manually end the games he's about to lose? Or change them to have a time limit? He deserves the ELO penalty.
It looks very much like he's just manipulating his ELO to get to #1, and maybe it's weird that it bothers me, but this kind of behaviour defeats the purpose of the ELO and I don't think many in the community would enjoy playing with someone like this.

He really should be blocked from starting/joining games with no time limit, he's abusing the ELO system.
Let's vote for the one with most votes so far to bump one of these same ideas up and gather attention to the problem!
