- I think this must be something to do with your system rather than the server

- I believe there was a big debate about this before the current system was

- Then if someone types "done" too soon, it is your own fault if you lose

- I liked the old method where both players had to type done before the game
- was scored (even if you could fool it by typing "done" twice).
