Sensible features
Sensible ( basic, fair, natural ) features on a ( crowd-funded? 9-year-old ) 2019 server ( Lichess.org ):If a user has a habit of sitting out the clock ( loss by time ) when behind instead of loss by resign, the server issues a warning of a ( temporary ) ban.Afaik, kgs is the only server that penalizes a user when their opponent leaves a game ( involuntary or voluntary disconnect; or escape ) with an incomplete game that doesn't indicate who first left. No other chess, shogi, or Go server does this, afaik. imo, this is one of the most ridiculous "features" ( by design ) of kgs.

Re: Sensible features
KGS auto-forfeit for Rage-Quit-Escapers seems reasonably close to the Temporary ban for always losing by letting the clock run out.
To be honest, I'd prefer UI and client updates instead.
