Detailed description
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
There have been several players who sign up for many (sometimes hundreds) of tournaments and then go offline for months and never play the tournaments. The rest of us just sit and wait until the whole thing times out, and that no-show player is put into the next tournament, making the next set unable to play the game. It ruins the tournaments- if we can't play we aren't really getting good rankings. I don't sign up to sit frozen for days on end when we know that player has not been online for >30 days. Maybe they got COVID, maybe they are in the war. I don't know, I just want to be able to play the games I sign up for and I can't.
Please give tournament organizers and players a way to get rid of these no-shows. Let us report with a tournament karma so we can screen them out like we can with other statistics.
Here are two good (bad?) examples.
FunWithFlags boardgamearena.com/player?id=91223505: 616 left games, 1,715 over time limits, playing 243 turn based games- looks like all tournaments
The_T boardgamearena.com/player?id=85335779 - currently still ruining 3 tournaments. Has not been online for 49 days. 17 left games and 26 over time limits
Maybe we need a new karma rating added the current one. A special category for those who no show. RIght now, there is no real penalty so this just keeps going on.• Please explain what you wanted to do, what you did and what happened

Report history
This change has helped to kick out players before the tournament starts. But this does not help much against one of the players mentioned above, who gets 100% karma by playing a few short games in one day, then signs up for every tournament starting this week. By the time they start timing out of matches and losing lots of karma, it is many days later and so all the 100's of tournaments are still affected.
They have also added an auto-withdraw for players in a tournament whose karma drops below 20% during the tournament. But this auto-withdraw does not automatically end all of the player's games in the tournament, so many tournaments still have to wait until the max time is reached to begin the next round. Auto-withdraw really only helps with Swiss tournaments, not with Round Robin or Elimination.
