Ranked player with unlimited time not responding what to do

I waited for an hour
but no reply
game not closed
why
I cant remember exactly.
I thought that after x amount of time it would show them as disconnected and you get a win.

also future lesson:
NEVER play unlimited games online.
worst case scenario you can exit
and perhaps the admin will give your points back.
just wait for thib to respond.
I'll give nothing back. Think about what "unlimited time" means, and play games with a clock.
I agree with Thibault. Remember chess rules.
I think that creates a very unhealthy situation where the negation of sportsmanship is somewhat rewarded. A reasonable time-out limit should be enforced. Like 60 or 90 minutes. After all it's live
chess, not correspondence chess.

Really, this type of problems do not exist on chess.com, the ICC or even Facebook chess. Thibault, please do something this is getting ridiculous.
No...there is no need to do anything...I think 30 min + 30 sec per move gives enough time for the game.
If you still want to play unlimited games, don't play rated games with unknown people, and there shouldn't be any problems
I agree with Stephen. If you disconnect cannot take the party for the opponent, he should do it.
Sorry for the clumsy English.
I think the idea of unlimited time is silly.
I mean seriously.
it makes sense when playing with a friend. It allows using lichess as correspondance chess.
