More Severe Penalties For Out of Time Players

It feels like a quarter of the games I play on BGA suffer from players not respecting the time limits placed at the table. I feel the penalty for running out of time should be more severe to ward off inconsiderate players. Here is a sample suggestion: If a user drops into overtime on two games within a short period of time, they can no longer join or create tables for a week.

I'm not invested in the specific solution, it can be anything as long as there are results. Ultimately I find I play an unideal number of games that slow to a crawl or end in unsatisfying abandonment.

Thanks for listening to my feedback.

which games are you having trouble in? How long is the overrun? Is it just one turn or multiple? You come across a bit unreasonable and demanding, but maybe you're having trouble in some complex game I don't play. Repeated time outs in a game is very different from occasional overruns. If it bothers you though you can just kick players out. That loses them karma and rep etc.

Set ur table limit to higher karma.
It's not a good enough solution, but at least it should work for u.
