What does the green RSS icon mean?

I've been wondering for a while now, what does it mean? the one next to people's names in games?
It means they're currently online and available in your game. If it's a red icon with an arrow pointing out, they've left or disconnected for some reason, perhaps because of a temporary connection issue.
Hello
So why does the site sometimes directly offer the draw/give up option when the opponent is disconnected, and sometimes doesn't, the clock quietly going down with the red icon on?
Thanks for answering!
And thank you for the site, i love it.
Because of different DQ types. The player can DQ by closing the window or leaving the page (this will allow you to force them to resign sooner), or they can leave because of intermittent connection (this will give them a few minutes to return). But I think there might be some issues with this code. :S
thanks for quick answering.
I see. Maybe because i'm very slow, this is quite frequent disease...
Maybe my opponents get bored to death.
Which can be a strategy...
