    The auto-ban system for leavers is absolutely broken... why?

    Because... who the **** do you think you are banning the account I spent my hard earned money-my very valuable time-and even better yet... my devotion and loyalty... to get to where I'm at.

    My problem is that... I got a leaver ban because a hurricane knocked my power out...

    does anyone see a problem with this?

    Do I think we should have to deal with leavers that ruin games because they tard it up and feed... no

    Am I or have I previously been "convicted" of such a thing.. YES

    but does that mean I should be automatically banned in an innocent situation in the future...

    No.


    I learned my lesson... but I still get to not play for 2 weeks


    This wasn't on this account... but just saying.

    You won't get banned for leaving once, or even twice. You get banned for leaving many, many, many times. A veteran player with a clean record would need to leave a lot to get a ban. On the other hand, someone who AFKs, disconnects and/or leaves frequently can easy get hit.

    We gave this flexibility so that if you DO have a legitimate reason to leave, we don't punish you. We certainly don't want to be banning a bunch of people who are losing power to the hurricane -- it's already bad enough as is. But we don't have as much of an issue banning someone who has already left a lot of games, and just left one more, because eventually, we have to protect the gaming enjoyment of everyone else in the games with you, regardless of the reason you left. It's just not fair to them either.

    Stay safe with the storm passing through... Sounds like it already moved through your area.
