Detailed description
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
Some games require several players. It is very annoying to wait for enough players, only to then realize that one of the players has left or stopped paying attention and doesn't respond to the ready/accept game start prompt. Often this results in the other players leaving as well because there is no longer a quorum.
When you join a game, you are not committing to play, but I think you should be considered as committing to decide promptly whether you are or are not going to play. Once the game is started and it is waiting for you to say you're ready, there should be a short timer (say 1 minute). Players who don't respond within this time frame should receive a small karma penalty. Perhaps not as much as leaving a game in progress, but a penalty nonetheless. Note that it would be equally fine to click "no" and thus leave the game or to click "ready" and begin the game; the penalty would only be applied if the player did not respond to the prompt at all.
Otherwise, people can waste others' time by joining games but never actually starting them or leaving them.• Please explain what you wanted to do, what you did and what happened
