Unfortunately some players are making trouble in the final scoring position. They don't recognize their dead groups. Therefore, for classic board sizes, the game will automatically end after two passes ! Be careful !!! And the result will be calculated automatically (usually within one minute after the end of the game). This method worked so far in games with bots.

There are lots a discussions around features like this on OGS. It's pretty problematic, especially for beginners. Two beginners may overlook some weakness and think the game is over, black wins. But the AI detects white can make use of that weakness, so reverts the result to something the users would never have agreed on.

Little Golem is probably not a place where many beginners play, and without active moderation there may be no better options, I can see that.
