Yes!
No.
The Problem:
We all find this very frustrating; we join a game, it fills to 10/10 and the host doesn't auto balance and start the game. Everyone starts to spam "ab and go!" "ab and go!", until one player questions if the host is afk. In fact he is and we leave the game, leaving the game sever up for more players to be tricked. Wasting much of our playing time, I have come up with a solution to prevent this from occurring in the future.
__________________________________________________ ______
The Solution
I suggest to have an automated timer when someone creates a game, that after 2 minutes of inactivity, the game server automatically closes so people wont join a game that won't start. If there are players in the game, the host will be automatically kicked and random new player in the game server will be given host privileges.
Other Solutions
1) Vote-kick host in game server (after being afk and identifed as afk).
2) Indication when you join a game (or indicated in the list of servers).

buuuuuuuuuump
As long as it stays to no-stats; could be abusable otherwise.
T-Up!
The sign of lost Carcosa appeared in the air, paralyzing us with dread older than the very idea of time.
As we looked on in horror, the unholy sign dissolved into a lone figure, shrouded in yellow.
??? why only no stats?? I dont understand other than trolling and wasting people's time.. explain please!Originally Posted by Hubaris
Host is AFK for whatever reason, game starts without him/her and now you have a player who isn't there but a started game.
Its just to prevent that sort of stuff; game auto AB's host didn't lock someone with someone else, many things can happen.
I would hate to see an idea used for evil

BUMP.
I apologize, I completely read your suggestion wrong.
I was under the impression that it auto starts games if no one is there.
This is much better.
