Not that long ago, our Community Moderators were being flooded ongoing with “Escaping” (aka “Stopped Playing”) reports about the other player simply failing to commence.
To relieve this load, we put in automatic warnings about this: failing to commence always meets the criteria for “This is Escaping”, so it was easy to send the warning automatically.
The feedback from users is that this is “unreasonable”.
There are reasons why a person may miss a game that started that seem “understandable”.
For this reason, we’ve adjusted the treatment.
Instead of a “Warning”, a person who misses the start of a game will get a popup notification (“Information”).
The wording is different, and there is no “Wait to click OK” (warnings have this).
Feedback welcome (ideally in a thread in the feedback category).
Note: the ideal solution would be to fix the reasons why people inadvertently miss game starts. We’re pondering that. There have been threads on it before, but a new one might be timely if you have ideas.
