Wouldn't it be possible to have a system whereby one does not have to wait until the clock runs out when the other player leaves a lost game?
In the game here: http://en.lichess.org/saaTXSY9 I had to wait about 7 minutes until the clock ran out because the opponent abandoned the game without resigning.
