Moderators must intervene in disagreements.
Assigning a win to a player who abandoned a game just because they are nominally stronger: Absolutely not.

For me, this is really what it comes down to. Interfere when there is a disagreement and stay out of it otherwise.
You can lose by resign, score or time out. Why you would make a system that rewards timeouters, while at the same time implementing ways to drag out 1move/day correspondance games for months without anyone making a move is beyond me.
In the greater scheme of things it doesn’t really matter. It all evens out anyway. But it does seem very unnecessary and poorly thought out. And it definitely isn’t fair no matter how you twist it (if you consider timeout a fair way of losing).
