Replacing out

Bad faith replacements are when it's a problem - if a player replaces out of a game then joins another quickly that would be a bad faith replacement - same with trying to use replacements to influence a game.

I try very hard not to replace out of games but theoretically speaking I can very much envision myself being burned out on one game but still wanting to start a new fresh one right away with no ulterior motive. But very theoretical.

there's most likely been "scum being scumread, reps out, great scum player reps in and saves slot" situations too, though i can't remember specific examples off the top of my head for that one

I speculate that not doomed scum is unlikely to rep out.

No you're totally right I'm just venturing a tangentially related opinion because I like to hear myself talk.

Replacing out merely because your slot looks bad is a bad faith replacement.

I think this is the really murky hard to moderate part though.

Track reps in minus reps out per player and only allow those with a non negative score to join new games. More a conceptual jumping off point than an exact policy to be implemented.

I was actually considering the other direction, requiring multiple reps in to equal one rep out.

Obviously if that were implemented site wide though there wouldn't be enough replacement opportunities to go around.

Interesting - how would you deal with alts?

Don't the mods know who most alts are alts of? Idk actually but I think more or less. If that's what you mean.

Temporarily limiting the number of games someone can join after some amount of flaking doesn't have to be framed as a punishment. It's just a matter of protecting game integrity, like requiring a number of completed games before a player can sign up in a certain queue or mod.
