Hi @anoek, is it possible to do anything about this?
Now, there are no notifications when the game is paused, so for corresponding games that are not my turn, the opponent can “secretly” pause the game, and I will never find out unless I intentionally scroll through all my games.
Isn’t that almost the same as if they went on vacation? There’s no notification in that second case, either – or so I think, because I usually disable all notifications in everything 
Except that with pause you can unpause whereas you can’t unvacation your opponent! (Although that gives me an idea for a feature that will never be implemented!)
But vacation is limited. Pause is not!
Pause is limited to 5 times
I’m talking about the duration
Pause is limited to as long as the other player allows it to last.
If a player is pausing without giving a reason for it, I end that pause directly. When my opponent asks me respectfully for a pause it depends on the motivation.
Well if you unpause 5 times then the duration may be much shorter as a 5 weeks holiday…
It’s true that you have to open the game to see the pause status so it could be convenient to have somewhere a list of paused games ( not somewhere hidden btw) . The fact is that when someone pause for no specific reason, you gonna have some motivation to check this specific game status after that.
Obviously if I see it I will unpause it. The problem is I can’t see easily it if it’s not pending my turn and it’s correspondence.
Which is why if I never see it the pause may last a few months…
