Looks like almost everyone agrees that forcing resignations in individual games (status quo) isn’t great (94% against it right now). I’ll leave the poll open for a bit anyway.
Looking at the implementation, I think it’d be possible to change to not resign automatically from games; perhaps a bit fiddly to give users the choice, but certainly somehow doable as well.
Although this point suggests the convenience would be a bad idea:
Also, it’s extra interface, but not extra functionality (since players still can resign from games).
New poll:
Assume for this poll that tournaments change to NOT force game resignations when a player resigns from a tournament. Should such a player have an easy way to resign from all ongoing games in that tournament?
- No. Better if players resign from games individually.
- Yes. Interface should make it easy to resign from all games in a tournament.
EDIT: You might choose “no” if you don’t mind having the option, but you think it’s unimportant / low priority. (Too late to change the poll.)
