Hi,
the reputation system is done to highlight players which are more likely to leave games and/or have bad behaviour.

I took the last game where you got expelled, and the game duration was 21min, 19min of game before you left. So you make two players 'lose' 19min while leaving.


To resolve it, even if that shouldn't please you:
- play in turn based
- change your connection
- play in hours/days where your connection should be better, ie usually avoid week end and evening
- play shorter games
- play with friends


Note though that your reputation is at 78%, while it is above 70% nothing bad happen, you can still join all or most games, and it's totally fine. So as long as you don't leave too much, you can ignore that problem too.

Play turn-based tables instead of real-time when you know that your connection is slow or unstable.

Slow internet connections can be frustrating for both users and service providers. Here are some common reasons why you might experience slow speeds and how you can address them:
1. Network Congestion:
Peak Usage Times: If you're using the internet during peak hours (e.g., evenings or weekends), network congestion can slow down your connection. Try using the internet at off-peak times to improve speeds.
Excessive Downloadsbasketball stars: If you're downloading large files, it can consume a significant portion of your bandwidth, slowing down your overall connection. Consider scheduling downloads for off-peak hours or using a download manager that allows you to pause and resume downloads.
2. Hardware Issues:
Outdated Equipment: If your modem or router is outdated, it might not be able to handle the demands of modern internet connections. Consider upgrading your equipment.
Faulty Cables: Check the cables connecting your devices to the modem or router. Ensure they are securely plugged in and not damaged.
Wireless Interference: If you're using a wireless connection, interference from other devices can reduce your speed. Try moving your router to a less crowded area or using a wired connection.
3. Software Issues:
Malware or Viruses: Malware and viruses can slow down your internet connection by consuming system resources or interfering with network traffic. Run a full system scan to check for any malicious software.
Outdated Software: Outdated software may not be optimized for modern internet connections. Keep your operating system, web browser, and other software up-to-date.

Why Do I get a bad reputation when my internet connection is slow.

Well... it's not just your reputation, it's also the reputation of your internet connection (and equipment, and real-life interruptions). So if your internet connection is slow, it gets bad reputation, it makes sense.
