because thats how invoking a penalty works? it's either automated or involves human interaction

it would either have to be all or nothing. meaning it's player controlled- tying a penalty to a D/C regardless, leaving open to far too much abuse.

OR

The game (i.e. an automated system) would invoke the penalty for a D/C'd player, based on if it was purposeful or not upon getting the boot. which leads back to if a computer can or would tell the difference.


Unless you really think the OP meant, implied, or said there would be GM handling every single individual case.... which is far FAR less realistic than assuming an automated system.
