table hosts AFK

Bonjour,

Régulièrement, des tables restent ouvertes avec un host visiblement absent...
Une suggestion : au bout de (10?) minutes, un petit pop up "etes-vous toujours là?" pour faire le ménage ! :)

you can just expel the host if they go inactive. however, the original host controls the table settings.

so if the host gets kicked, nobody else can change those settings. better to post in the table chat that you will start a new table and get everyone to join the new table.

We definitely have an issue (since ~1 month) with players remaining online while they are offline. This is a very difficult issue to manage for us and we didn't found a proper solution until now. We hope to find a solution for it asap.

Just a thought...
How about something like an AFK check for table hosts?
Every, say, two minutes(?) you have to click an alert button. If it is not clicked within a set time, the table is either closed if there are no other players or the host is automatically kicked and the next player is the new host. The same AFK rules will then apply.
You could perhaps add an indicator for all players showing the afk timer countdown.
I'm not sure if this would get annoying in practice but would keep the host alert and ensure they are active.
