Eriisa: Last week I had to let over 60 games time out because I could not come online. It was unexpected and unanticipated. I do not cry or complain since things happen, but I do not think I should be punished by the system either

Hmm, usually we have about 3 - 7 days for a move,
and over this for such cases like a technical defect we have the auto-vacation.
Can it be that you trusted technical resources (which by experience sometimes fail) so that you renounced to use the auto-vac? Or did you use the 30-days-vacation and nevertheless you exhausted the time in 60 games?

In both cases this argument against the "specialist-regulation" is too weak.

Which i think is solved by not allowing people to move on vacation days

Great idea, fully agree with it.

mctrivia:
I am really busy. But if I hit a wall I can come online and play a game or 2 to get my mind off the problem then get back to work

If someone is "really busy" and has to take the vacation day, then for him it doesn't matter that he is not allowed to make other moves in this day. If someone is not so busy and assuming he didn't start more slots than he can handle, then he should make his moves. Your argument is weak: using it someone can say he is "busy" in games where he expects a defeat and "not busy" in games where he sees a victory...
