Fair solution to DC Penalties until Hotfix 5.0.a

Temporarily limit the maximum disconnect penalty to an hour.

A penalty that long should be long enough to deter most players from quitting on purpose while being short enough to not excessively penalize players who experience crashes.

    No complaints there. I wasn't a big fan of the idea somebody else had of completely shutting them off for now though, that will not do.

    i think it should always have a cap of 1 hour tbh. the game crashes way too much, even before this chapter, to justify 24hr - 1 week long bans.

    It takes a LOT of dc's to get to a week long one. I would temporarily hold it at an hour for now until everything is worked out but once it is, reimplement it. Keeps people from ruining my matches.

    Game crahsed again. May as well post here while I wait out the 15 minutes. Guess it's what I get for "ruining other's fun." The other 3 had to finish an unfairly balanced match without me because I chose to play DbD while the possible risk of crashes was present. Punish me!

    Typically, I'd be against reducing any dc penalty, but if it is really as bad as people here say it is, perhaps they should disable completely until they get the issue resolved?

    30 minutes seems fine to me
