DF Penalty from withdrawing from a party in progress should be removed

[Deus-ExMachina]

This is not true. You only do not get penalized if the group is still not full.

Penalty for ditching a group is solely dependent on whether or not the group had all of its members. If you join inprog and the party is back up to 4/4 as a result, you will be penalized if you leave.

My experience is different. When Palace of the Dead was released and I got matched in progress on foor 49 (there was no checkbox for in progess anyway and joining in progress on that floor happend a lot to me) I immediately left the group and most of the time we were full and never did I receive any form of punishment. I do not know if potd is an exception but it matches groups through df so the rules should be the same because I did get punished once for declining the invite itself but not for leaving full groups after I joined.
