Aside from verbal abuse, there are several abusive behaviors that involve deliberate manipulation of the rating system
- Intentionally disconnecting in a lost position.
- Disconnecting in order to analyze the position.
- Refusing to resume an adjourned game when the opponent asks. If you censor or "noplay" someone with whom you have an adjourned game, you will probably lose the game by forfeit.
