Bad ratings in Carcassonne

Sometimes a player will either allow their time to run out or they just don't place a tile in time. Either way, they run out of time and I have to decide either to eject that player or keep playing with someone who will sometimes go way over their time by up to 5 minutes. I've had that experience. Now I get criticized either way. If I eject them, even after allowing them a minute or more to make a play, they will give me a bad rating. I had NO idea I could go from 100% to 60% OVERNIGHT. No idea. I tried to go back to track why and could not except for the people I ejected. So now I have no option - I either give the player all the overtime needed - or wanted - and we continue to play. My rating is still low but I'm trying hard to get it back up there. I asked the game people about it and they said just to play nicer. Sigh.
