Disconnection morality
It appears as if recently the amount of lameasses who disconnect while being destroyed (often streaking some random noobs before this) and disconnect. Most of these are new, unregistered people but there are some cases where they are not..

People cant do anything about this right now, because the opponent could plea that he had to go (I dont understand how this keeps happening when the player is losing a streak) , but the player could always spectate. How should players like this be reported?

*starts making somewhat of a "blacklist"*

when a player disconnects during a game, it is most likely out of cowardice, however there is at the moment no way that you can tell if they disconnected for a genuine reason or not, and it is likely that there never will be a method of telling if they had a good reason for quitting or not. I don't think it is right for punishing somebody just for disconnecting ingame during a match, however if the player was proved to had disconnected just because they were losing then it would probably be fair to award them some infraction points on the forum. This will probably never happen though, as you cant tell why a player disconnected.

In some games i've seen a way of countering this, by giving the people who quit ingame a "penalty" (they lose a certain amount of money)

I think its a good way to stop quiters, and if you got to go, well, then you just have to sacrifice a little...
I said that... maybe. start listing people who do such suspicious activity. If someone does this more than say, four times. he is to be alerted.

Also, maple. that doesn't count with disconnects, just spectating. It's like pulling your internet wire off in another game.

My sollution to the issue is just to ban them. Then, maybe in a week or four, they can come back... if they do it again they wont see toribash cept for videos for a LONG time

I've had this happen to me a few times, very aggravating. I jsuust want to kick them in the teeth sometimes...
This is the Emergency Alert System. All normal programming has been discontinued during this emergency.
What slith said. It happens alot in KB.. There was this one noob that did and he didn't know it was a bannable offense but I taught him and he told me he wouldn't do it again.
It is true that some noobs quit because they're loosing, but there have been some times where I've had to quit during a match for an actual reason. I just say "g2g. srry."
