I'm new. Is my opponent's waiting to time out instead of resigning common here?

He realized he was lost and just stopped moving. Probably went away. I can't start another game until the game times out in 12 minutes? I can't go do something else in case he moves? Seems rather unsportsmanlike and the kind of thing a site would try to prevent. What are the ways of dealing with it here?
Again. Different opponent. If this is not considered sanctionable abuse here. I will have to find a different place to play medium and long games.
There should be methods in place to allow you to force your opponent to resign. There may be some issues with the script that handles these events.
You can start another game in another tab/window.
So you have no need to wait and you are even able to play different games simultaneously.
