Oranj Feb 2023 3:36pm, 17 Feb 2023 3,480 posts	0 Oranj Isn't there a limit to how long you can be on vacation for? (Maybe not if you're a Diamond member). I was playing a random last year who was on vacation for a long time, after about 6 weeks the match timed out in my favour.
jda Feb 2023 3:39pm, 17 Feb 2023 14,311 posts	0 jda I think you get a finite number of days but it’s a large number for paying members. Pain in the arse when they go away for months, but that’s just how it is. And having the option does reduce accidental timeouts.
SPR Feb 2023 4:27pm, 17 Feb 2023 39,573 posts	0 SPR Matches don't have a no vacation option. It seems sensible to me that they should have it for matches given they are at most two games and you know when it will happen. With tournaments they can drag on with multiple rounds.
JoeCarr28 Feb 2023 4:30pm, 17 Feb 2023 90 posts	0 JoeCarr28 Yes, they are a Diamond member. They also seem to have 276 current games, which can't help.
JulesR Feb 2023 5:04pm, 17 Feb 2023 28,979 posts	0 JulesR If you spot they are playing blitz games or puzzles during the time that they are “on vacation”, you can report them to chess.com easily by clicking on their profile, report & then choosing the option “stalling” If enough opponents report them, an automatic message will be sent to them saying ‘move or resign’ - they can get banned for consistent stalling.
