Oh, no. Not again :-(

And what I mean is that there is no such thing in OTB games: you do have to claim for the game. :-)

If you forget to see/claim that your opponent was flagged, the game just goes on. Using this idea on QA: if your opp comes after his time is out but you haven't claimed, he *has* the right to make his move - autoflag is not that fair. :-(

Very well put, PGeon! If only I spoke better Malay...

Once's criticism is usually based on seeing multiple threads on the same or similar subjects. He does not seem to like that, though I contend that subjects that come up frequently and independently are viable subjects indeed.
However, some people seem to get a lift out of a certain sour style of being critical. Forgive them, or if you wish to understand them, read up on the ideology known as Calvinism. My own country has plenty of prime examples too, alas...

Well, I think this system would be implemented in tournaments and I will explain why: If a player create an account and starts bad, He can ignore his games and start a new account. But his old account will delay the tournament, if the opponents don´t claim the win. A good example is the OPEN-1532. It´s very clear that JosefStallin and JosephStallin are the same player. He is losing all the games by timeout. Imagine if both accounts were in the same group. Well, It would take a long time to the system finish the game (30 days).
