too many players timing out of games
Too many players are abandoning games by annoyingly letting the timer run all the way down. I firmly suggest a system whereby a player gets three strikes: one strike per game abandonment by timeout. At three strikes, the player is suspended for 2 days, etc. At three suspensions, the player is suspended for a week. Something like that. There needs to be consequences for this, especially because some of it is malicious, but really all of it is a massive waste of time and it will cause player turnover (aka, fewer players around to participate, access products in the store, etc.).
Thank you in advance!

It's some SOME of it being malicious: ALMOST ALL of it is malicious.
People will stop playing the instant they think they are losing instead of conceding. It runs out 1-3 timeouts then three full turns before they are kicked.

Here's mine. Aka_SLV my opponent was about to lose. Then the game just hung at his turn. The timer ran out finished the 10min and continued on. Bloody waste of time. This must be a bug or a hack they use to win games. Please please check.

Supported! Though no one should be punished so harsh for an unstable connection. What about matching players who are regularely abondoning matches in this way? Then they can annoy each other and let the serious players enjoy the matches.
