This is why we can't have nice things.

The lock out wouldn't exist if we didn't have people fishing for in-progress or just trolling the queues because they have insta queue. Back when ST was just introduced, I spent about 6 minutes of constant withdrawing from the same player. We couldn't even click commence and my chat log was pretty much filled with the player has withdrawn message. I opened a ticket to see if a GM could do something about it and he said they were working on a system that would punish people that did this, but honestly I didn't think they would implement it soon enough.

Don't blame SE, blame the players that can't get their shit together.
