AbigailII: Your suggestion of not being able to take a vacation day on a day you make a move penalizes people like me. When I'm on vacation, I can usually get online for a short time (maybe half an hour) which is enough time to move in my quick games, or fisher clock games, but not enough time to move in all my games. I would be penalized for trying to move forward in my quick games, but letting my longer games sit.

I know it is a pain dealing with those who are obviously on here but just not moving in their games. I play pretty quickly and they irritate me as well. However, you can't make rules to deal with every situation. You end up hurting those who are trying to play by the spirit of the idea in the process.
