Isn’t it possible to play in “email” mode (read: days long time control) or something else if you’re going to be in a situation with spotty coverage? As I understand it, live games mean just that.

A few hours ban is a slap on the wrist from a moderation perspective, and it seems... odd... that they’d even hit you with that unless you regularly leave games.

Sounds like they do it pretty regularly :/

The bans are automated. It happens even if you disconnect irregularly and infrequently through no fault of your own.
