What about this? For each player, show on his profile the average time games sat with him until he moved for the last 10000 moves. (that means the time passed from when his opponent moved till he moved)
This would be very helpful to see which players typically delay tournaments and which not, so others could selectively weed some slow players out (or avoid them), if they care about their tournaments taking years.
For a player that comes here once a day, this would probably show 24h; for a player that plays more often, less than that. For the typical 'lagger', it should be weeks.
Aganju: tournaments that use the Fischer clocks like my 20 20 tournaments are very good at chasing up the slow players without having to go to any trouble at all. Maybe tournament creaters should consider using them more often. Once somebody's starting time has run out, they've got to make 1 or even 2 moves a day. Problem solved.
ThunderGr: The problem with Fischer clock is that it negates vacation completely - and sometimes I want to make a real vacation, and I need 6 days without internet access, and then I lose all games, no matter how fast I play all year. Therefore, when I make games/tournaments, I allow a significant build-up of Fischer-clock-time.
There is no perfect way to define the game speed that pleases everyone and considers such situations. That is why I proposed to show that number below; that way you can identify and sort out the players that produce the lag.
