Well maybe there should be a way to be able to leave a game without a penalty or losing points
when there is a reason for it,
like somebody insulting your family during a game.
Also when they were server problems penalties for leaving were cancelled,
so it is possible.
Penalities losses are different from ELO losses. Unless you were speaking about karma points and not ELO points ?
When you leave/quit a game you lose karma points and additional ELO
I know that, but as i already said, elo can never been restored, whereas karma can when moderator want to

There is something to OP's point though
I've reported more Ark Nova opponents for abusive language in the last 2-3 months than i have combined in the previous 10+ years i've been on BGA. Often, it's a spectator that feels need to chime in with their 0.02c on how well"" you played. There's definitely a toxic tinge to some of the player base.

Honestly, I am surprised there is no option to just disable chat, or block someone from talking to you.

There is. You can go to someone's profile and click on the red thumbs down.

Hi and question:
Are these players new to BGA?
Feuerland added a promo code for 4 weeks of free playing Ark Nova on BGA into all expansion boxes and the new boxes of the basic game. The codes are not indiviualized, it's possible to copy them.
Perhaps a silly thought, but maybe the promo code attracted some trolls, that never planned to join BGA seriously. Very speculative, I know, but the time window would fit. This would be good news, because the promo code some day runs out of its validity period.
