Disconnects (Purposefully or game crash)

This topic has been BEAT TO DEATH, so I do apologize for bringing up another "disconnect" thread. However, I do have a suggestion (if at all possible). Since I do play as Killer (Spirit), it does get very frustrating when a survivor does d/c. Our initial response is that they were obviously upset they got downed, hooked, mori'd, etc. As for me, I don't ever d/c. I've had bull ######### games as both killer and survivor but I take it like a man and move on. However, at least for ME, while playing survivor, my game crashed several times in the past several weeks, either when I got hooked or at different points in the game, so obviously it initially makes me look bad but I know the truth.

My main point is: IF AND WHEN the devs start punishing d/cers, is there not an algorithm that can be set to differentiate between survivors / killers purposefully disconnecting and when they actually crash? This issue needs to be settled because it's ruining the game for a lot of people..

    This has happend to me in apex, R6 and DBD and I have been temporarily banned and that is annoying so it would be great if that was implemented.

    Supposedly, the automated "excessive DC" counter only counts when you hit the "leave" button from a game. Not internet connection loss, or game crashes. etc.
