In Response To: Article Updated (ncsuDuncan) : "Update: As some community members have pointed out, [Time-Out] is : pretty harsh on people who get dropped due to an internet hiccup. One : solution for this would be to allow you to rejoin a game you left if : you’ve reconnected to Xbox Live and the game is still in progress. This : could be done from the Matchmaking menu or through your Recent Players : menu. Also, keep in mind that “Time-Out” only applies when you quit a : team-enabled matchmaking game. Quitting a Lone Wolves match to go join a : party in Team Slayer will still have credit penalties, but you won’t be : locked out of matchmaking because you didn’t have teammates to leave at a : disadvantage." Then people might rejoin a game simply to grief their own team. Better to do something for a couple of minutes than be banned nearly half an hour.
So in the spirit of fun and fairness that you only get when playing with the SSD crew, we started to play around with him...
What's worse, looming a ban over their head would make people simply idle for a couple of minutes. Maybe they go get a sandwich or take a bathroom break, leaving a stationary target for the enemy team to feed on. Some games (Snipers and SWAT) make things a little easier for the team with less people. TLDR; if you ask someone "You want to be banned for a while, or do whatever you want for a couple of minutes?" There's no guarantee that they'll play nice.
