Detailed description
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
The button is abused to avoid ELO loss and can also stop a player from finishing a turn within the 20 second time by gumming up the system. I suggest that "Skip players out of time" should be a vote requiring all positive timer players, like the "abandon game" feature.• Please explain what you wanted to do, what you did and what happened

When I sit down to a game, I often look at the maximum amount of time it will take (for games with a fixed number of turns) to ensure that the game will conclude before I need to leave. If players are allowed to keep the game running in perpetuity, they can eventually force other players to leave and take a penalty.
It's also open to abuse when multiple players are friends or at the same IP address. I worked tech support when the first generation of XBOX Live had problems with this. When a player was losing he would simply pause the game and walk away, forcing the other player to quit and take a penalty.
My suggestion to improve the system is to use the tools that already exist: Play at Normal or Slow speed tables instead of Fast if you cannot complete your turns within your time limit.
