WOC Boot Drop Ins?

Would be cool to get a vote system to kick a crappy drop in on clubs in WOC. Had a defenseman that refused to play defense and would only skate the puck into the zone by himself all game in 3s. Would...

Players going offside a lot should eventually be dropping their teamplay score enough to get kicked. But, if that player does something to raise it, they'll be kept in the game. It's annoying for sure. I truly wish we had a better way to handle trolling. This behavior just frustrates people and pushes them out of the mode. It's also why I do my best to only play drop-ins with clubs since that's normally a much better experience. I know that doesn't fix this. It's just been a good alternative.

I haven't seen anybody get kicked yet. We had a guy stand offside for two full periods the other night. Might not be functioning as intended.

I guess my vote is for a fix sooner rather than later. It's possible that somebody might get wrongfully kicked, but I don't think that's justification for having no system in place. Again the only complication I can forsee is that people in drop in will immediately kick the human goalie when he lets in a soft goal, if he makes it that far.

I don't envy the guy that has to find a way to make this work, but this isn't Call of Duty, you can't just quit out and be in another game in 45 seconds. It takes 10 minutes to get into another game, and the games themselves take half an hour. I just think that's too much time to ask people to give up because of trolls. I don't know about anybody else, but suffering through one trolly game, loading onto another and realizing it's going to be more of the same? That's it for the night for me. I'm playing something else.

If you see this again, can you get a video? I'll get it reported, but it would be good to see. Players should be getting kicked for being offside that much. Were they never coming back onside? Their teamplay grade needs to drop to an F and that will happen if they're offside a lot.

  He'd come back out when the play went down to our end, but when the other team gave up on the game and started trying to push him onside, he went offside and just LB spammed behind the net for the whole 3rd period.

    Ugh. That's awful. I hate that kind of play. Sorry you had to deal with that. It sounds like he's managing to keep his grade up high enough not to get kicked. We need a better way to handle players like that though. It's so frustrating and ruins the experience.
