On the other hand, if you get unfairly kicked, you're looking at a 2 hour lockout timer.

This. Definitely. It would be quite annoying to go into island exploration, only to immediately be kicked without reason. Suddenly you'll have a nice two hour wait before you can do it again, and hope the same thing doesn't happen once more.....
