I picked disconnect when losing, because it shows a distinct lack of courtesy and maturity.  Purposely stalling is really pathetic as well.
 
But something else I, as someone who often needs a bit of time to think, would add to the list is players who repeatedly harass their opponents about playing too slow.  Once I was playing buttwheat, and he was making a barrage of comments one after the other about how slow I was and this and that, getting more and more agitated.  Although, there was one problem:  It was his turn.

I picked lotto because those jackasses are the worst.

my opinions on the above choices are...
 
newbie humpers......these people are truly rank whores. basically if they take their rank so seriously then they need to get out more and try to get laid once in awhile. we all know who these people are and i think they are a filthy stain on metaforge. i had the experience of editor 'helping' me when i first started at meta. he humped me badly for days. when i eventually started beating him he gave me abuse and wouldnt play me from then. people like him are bad for metaforge and the recruitment of new members. but then we all have a right to do what we want on here.
 
dancing queens......again these are rank whores. the way i see it is, if a grown man is too shallow not to even try to attack or even take the smallest of risks in a game of stratego (suitable for ages 8 years old and above) then i kinda actaully feel a bit of pity for them. what kind of sad person must they be irl to behave likes this on a game site? it baffles me.
 
lotto from the start......now sometimes i do this, but i never brag about winning this way. its a brave/stupid strategy, but just to hear a 'purist' whinge and cry about it after a game, it all makes it worth while.
 
ambush with an alias.........yeah this is sad. but to combat this make your game non viewable and make new setups. now god knows how many times this has happened to me due to my sheer laziness to make a new setup. but then its my own fault if i get ambushed i think.
 
stalling........i hate stallers. thats why i create games with a 30 second time limit. if there was an option for 15 second time limit i would use it. but again we all know who are the faggy stallers, so they are easily avoidable.
 
sign off or disconnect when they are beat...........i love it when someone uses the buttwheat door of defeati really do. aswell as giving the opponent a good beating you have also maded them humiliate themselves. its great.
 
chasers.......see stallers as above.

disappointing comment regarding lotto Mc..

Live a little lightwing, looks like some people are interested to me!

I voted "Dancing Queen". In my opinion it really is the worst quality of game play. The few players I have played who use this claim that I am a sore loser when I confront them about it. They say that I am a poor sport and that is their "strategy". HA! Its a joke! Lets use Editor for instance...I played him for the first time a few nights ago and he never crossed the lakes with any piece other than a scout. If I were to do the same, the game would never end! It is a poor excuse for a strategy.  
 
All of the types above are pathetic, but this one really gets under my skin. I like playing and really could care less about winning. Although I do enjoy to look @ my wins/losses and see 100-2    
 
You have to lose a lot to move up in the ranks and be a part of the top 20. Practice makes perfect.
 
-Boss

what about those twits who never play with RV or GA?

I voted disconnecting when you know that you're beat.  That is the most unsportsmanlike conduct.  I give dancing & defense a very close 2nd.
