On another note regarding this, we do not plan on giving penalties to these players who withdraw when you are getting ready to commence due to the fact that there is a possibility that players who do not have malicious intent could be penalized.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
While I'm sure that's appreciated, I can assure you there are more people abusing it than those that are innocent. In the long run, they will be thanking you even if it means the innocent are caught in the crossfire from time to time. It's no different than a fighting game penalizing a player for disconnecting during a match.

Sure, some people may actually have connectivity issues and disconnect on accident, but ya know what? More people are going to be plugpulling. If it was up to me, I'd do the same thing some of these fighting games do and change their names to red if they kept doing this so when they joined static groups or even randoms in DF, others would know to stay away from him. If that person clears X number of legitimate runs, he can get the original color back for his name.
