Can we bring in a BAN for leavers with in 10mins, Countless games are ruind by this. People leave because they lose their units or there COM, that's not the end of the game... OR "I didn't get the position i want so ill Grief or leave."
Ideally the ban would be Temp for like 15mins from all public servers.
And it would need an automated system, because its hard to get 15 other people to ban another person every single time it happens, in the middle of a game.
It mucks with mental for all the players. A disadvantage to the team, and there isn't enough of a punishment, to stop reoccurring issues.

Lets keep are lobby's clean, our teamwork strong and our games competitive.
What are your thoughts ?

What about timeouts?

#

bugs that prevent you from typing and need restart of game?

I agree that something automated should be done since it's explicitly stated in the CoC.

How would you tell the difference between a grief/leave and a legit leave?

Well, some system can be thought of, which incur escalating penalties with recurrence, so you're not going to be penalized if you're just lost your connection, but will be increasingly so if you're just trolling or half-assing match after match.

Still, there's a problem by which it can cause you to being unable to rejoin and continue the game because you were penalized. The basic sentiment is respectable, but the way to implement it is dubious.

Feel like these are very different situations. Sure the latter sounds like report worthy. But the former?

They lost their base and units, if they want to resign I don't see that as a 'early leave'. Sure they could stick around and be gifted units, it's a big loss to the team to have them tap out. But also I don't think people should be forced to sit idle in a game lobby they can't do anything in.

Plenty of times I see people ask for constructors to restart a base and have the whole team ignore them. they hang around for a few mins and then quit. Seems fair.

You really cannot automate it. People leave for different reasons (including being under real-life threat due to current international conflicts), so there's no way to treat these cases the same way, and there's no way to differentiate. Reported abuse would be evident for a moderator, and you hardly do better than that.

The ban should only be for 15 mins, if you need tyo leave to go to the shops or "you life" is a t risk as you put, its not a long period of time
