The problem of leaving the last harvest stage

Hello, I am a Korean user who is using the BGA site well.
Thank you for making a good site.
However, in the Agricola game, there are some players who go out in the final harvest stage when they lose.
I won first place 2 times in a row, but I didn't get a score because the game was canceled in the final harvest stage. (Joint 1st place treatment)
I wonder if this problem can be improved and what others think about it.
game numbers:
#413876646
#413845143
ps. this sentences may not be smooth using a translator.

You can filter games by your opponents' reputation, so if they have a history of quitting games then you won't be matched with them. You can also give them a "red thumb" which means you won't play with them in future.
But I have to point out that you yourself have a terrible reputation, with multiple quits and lots of timer penalties. So perhaps look at fixing your own behaviour first?

Thank you for telling me a good way.
I will pay more attention to my reputation.
To add to my reputation carefully, I have a record of running away with everyone's agreement because we didn't know how to cancel the game when I played with my offline friends. Once again, there's a record of belonging to a game without understanding what a turn-based game is and then being kicked out. It seems to be looking even more disreputable with penalties included for these two games.
Apart from these two games, I don't have a perfect reputation, but I had personal problems, such as problems trying to play in a mobile environment. What I'm saying is, I've never deliberately attempted to play non-manner.
(I'm not saying I'm not at fault and I'm reflecting on my self)
As for timer penalties, I often received timer warnings during the draft stage, but I didn't pay particular attention to them because I don't think they account for a large portion of the game about 2 hours because of the delay of less than 10 seconds. However, after reading this reply, I think it was an action that could cause inconvenience to the players who played the game together. From now on, I'll try not to get a timer warning. Taking this opportunity, I apologize to the players I played with.
I really like this site, so I want to create a mature game culture.
Once again, thank you for your interest and helpful words.

A common situation related to the question on this thread is forgetting that, after the last feeding fase, players must also confirm reorganization of their bred animals.
I've seen people (even with good enough reputation) just disconnect after they fed their family on the last harvest and have the game cancelled.
Obviously this is sloppy behavior from the player and they should be penalized for that. It only takes one more minute or so after playing for more than 90 minutes. But given that it is everybody's last action and it won't interfere with other players actions, couldn't we just discard the animals from the players that did not confirm the reorganization (as soon as they time out) and have the game finished and scored normally?

I hate when players leave in the last second. I already lost (yep, even if I technically won) points due to players leaving in the last harvest stage. Why would I lose points?

It's a forever ongoing issue with 'joint placement'. It's been many years since there was a large amount of people complained about it. BGA think they've fixed it.
The system 'thinks' you drew with the other 1st player.
Tip: Hover over your ELO score, and it will show you how your ELO is calculated.
