why people take connection wins

I personally think that connection wins should be stopped and that you should only automatically wait for the person to connect because its not a proper win.
there is a person who intimidates you so be aware if you play them...,

However, in some cases, the people disconnecting are doing so because they are losing. I remember one time I was playing someone and after taking a free bishop, he continuously disconnected until the maximum time limit and reconnects were met. This was psychologically infuriating and I DID end up losing because of it. Perhaps it is the disconnectors that are doing the wrong-doing instead of the disconnectees.
I have also been subject to my fair share of disconnect losses, many cases where my opponent and I had barely made our first ten moves and some where I had my opponent hopelessly caught in a mating net with mate appearing anywhere from six moves to one! The nerve of those people who took a win!
I believe that an official should come and review the game before the other permits himself/herself to take a win. Personally, I try not to take a win if my opponent is in a winning position or if we are in the opening, but that's just me...
Also, if we were forced to wait, some people would disconnect and stay off until the next day. Obviously, the common person would resign, because they would be unable to enter any other games or do much else...

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
