This happen a lot recently, when a player screwed up the game and know that he/she has no chance to win the game anymore, they will just use up all their add time in the game and leave, making everyone left in the game WAIT another extra 5 minutes or even 10 minutes; and there is nothing anyone left can do besides waiting for the time to pass and claim their win later after that long wait.

Note, this sometimes doesn't not qualify as a suicide attempt, some people just do it because they know they can no longer win the game.

So, how do we report such player? And can the added time be reserved by admin, or we have no other option?

The add time can be reversed by moderators - they can reset the timer to, say, 10 seconds.
(It's a bit of a trick but it works beautifully).

There's not really a specific option in the report tab here, but I guess 'modifying the turn length' or 'changing the turn length' (however it is formulated) should come close enough.
- Just make sure to explain it in the chat to the moderator.

report add time abusers to an admin in a message. Admins can take away their ability to add time. Make sure to include game numbers and describe in the game chat what happened and when so that the admin can easily verify it in the log.

Someday I will add this to the report tab.

You guys are awesome. A solution for every problem. ^^

It is good to take away their add time ability, they need to learn a lesson, report tab title 'add time abuser'?
