  Damn right, ive played 5 skins games today and every bloody time someones quit !.

  They shouldnt be able to quit al the time, after so many times they should be punished as it ruins it for everyone else.

  Really have had enough of it !

  The problem with handling quitters is the fact that there is no way to really know if it was a game crash.

   

  I know that it can be obvious when someone quits after a bad shot, but still, there have been times when I get the unexpected error screen after a wild shot.  And it is 99% of the time my own fingers fault.  

   

  I try to post on the other players walls that it was a system error though.   But on a few occasions, it happens so early in the game that I couldn't remember the other players names.

  But yes,  I hates me some quitters too!

  Hi!

  I know skins is not yet a credit game but to prevent people from quitting there should be a penalty. Maybe it is worth considering to prevent a player who quits from playing other games until the one which he/she quite finishes. 

  Once the skins will be a money game it will be obvious - you quit you loose your entry fee.

  in response to the 'not knowing why they quit'.  If they are losing connection or being disconnected, they shouldnt be playing the game.  Punish both quitters and disconnects, maybe they will stop playing on their smart phones.

  if they would select quit button, instead of closing their window it wouldnt be so bad, having to wait the full 5 min to start game again

  110% agree with you there.    I played a match play challenge yesterday against a TM that had the same equipment that I have.   

   

  After hitting some quality golf shots he started complaining that WGT was "just !@#$ giving it to me" lol

  Needless to say, I had the 5 minute wait to win the match lol

  The 5 minute wait is unnecessarily long - cut it back to 2 minutes at most - if anybody has cut off accidentally it still gives time to re-connect

  whether or not you  quit or get bounced out by WGT or lose your internet connection, you still lose your entry fee. I know, it's happened to me more than once.

  There is a Reputation option when making a round, Is this in use? If not put it in use add a reporting feature to report those who quit which will alter there reputation.
