    It is recommended that you do not allow any cybermen on your team.

    All it IMHO needs is
    a) a personal banlist, people on this list wont be allowed to enter the games I created
    b) Kick and kickban button for the game leader/creator
    Simple and effective. Would be really nice if at least the kick button makes it into the beta as with more people joining up for it, the laming and afk timerobbing wont get better.

    An optional votekick cant hurt either.

    I get more games ruinied and time wasted by people just going afk after creating a game than by trolls.

    Edit: And of course a global banlist for cheaters and similiar waste of oxygen.

    no goddamit, you people can't see how trolls would be even happier with these tools than they are now.

    and that's not the only issue here. I'm talking about maturity problems. give someone a button and he will clickclickclick it.
    Why do you think I made the riotgames community refference? not because the game chat is ostensibly profane in every way (sexism, racism, homophobia, insults, rage...) but because it is custom, tradition(, duty even!) to report every single person on the opposing team (if not every single person. short.) after a match.
    Why do they do it? were they personaly hurt? by each distinct person? no. because there's a button

    So, for AFK guys holding up 9 other people and blocking my game what, besides just recreating the game, is your solution?
    Or how do I prevent known trolls from joining my games if not by means of a banlist?
    I am pretty certain that those individuals are not to be changed by constructive discussion about their annoying behaviour.

    I presume this will be done in a way Trolls themselves can't abuse?

    This problem is as old as the internet, and are the solutions. Allow the host to kick players.

    The easiest ways to solve this problem are pretty simple. Will there still be trolls? Of course. You can't prevent it. Can we provide ways to not have to interact with them? Yup, should be able to do that. :)

    You should be able to see who is deleting units, a game log would be pretty good.
