I wanted to ask why there is the option to leave the room during a game. It has happened to me several times that opponents who no longer have a chance of winning, or even worse, are leading by a large margin in games, and when they can draw or tie, use this "super joker". As I see it as gross unsportsmanlike conduct, I wonder why this move is even allowed without punishment, i.e. without the corresponding loss of points? Thank you very much

Leave the room during the game
Hi, a player has several options to finish a game: 1st - finish the game by playing ✅ 2nd - click resign (some games offer that choice) 🤷 3rd - logout (by clicking the 'X') ❌ 4th - disconnection due to server issue or connection issue with home provider ⚠️ As for punishing a player who leaves the game before it's over (3 & 4), the system wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a forced exit and an accidental exit, so there is no punishment. Have a good day

How about some form of punishment for those that when losing choose to let the clock expire. They act like 13 yr olds and pout when losing.

I agree, shame on them allowing computer components to FAIL like that. They should ensure my connection never fails! :D

Just click on the player's name then click to see their information. The player's information will not be visable if the system has lost connection.
If system cannot distinguish te reason for quitting, then the only rule to apply is. When a player leaves a game (for whatever reason) then he looses the game. It is simple, easy to understand, and it is the only way to prevent some players to intentionnally leaves the game when being ahead on score.
If you disconnect during a game, you should lose. Get a better connection. I've played thousands of games and have maybe disconnected twice in the middle.
