That is an explanation, not an excuse. Why play a game when you aren't able to play it? Talk about selfish.

I think Kwanton is right about this one.
I don't think the 'automatic-feedback' idea is good; sometimes deadbeating happens for a legitimate reason. But having some sort of count (percentage form or actual number) of games deadbeated (kicked, not just a turn skipped) available to other members would be quite valuable. I don't anybody is going to avoid a player with only a couple of games 'dropped', but it'd be quite handy to let non-forum-goers identify persistent deadbeaters without having to trawl through their neg-feedback.

Most deadbeaters already have an accumulated tally in their feedback. If I'm in a game and someone deadbeats I say so with negative feedback, but if they have a lot of complete games and no db negs I tend to give them the benefit of the doubt.

I am really sick and tired of waiting 3 days for deadbeat noob noshows to get booted though. Get three of the sorry bastards in a game and you have to wait more than a week to actually start playing.
