I agree completely. And it's especially offputting now when so many of us are having trouble adjusting to the changes.

I am guessing that this is an attempt to adjust for complaints about one or two players (in the 4's room?) who make a habit of leaving near the end of a game if they aren't doing well. You are punishing the ratings of many players, which is totally unfair, especially since YOU DID NOT NOTIFY US OF THIS CHANGE IN THE RATING SYSTEM. Complaints about losing points for "no apparent reason" are appearing in the chat box between games. Sadly a lot of complaints are only in the chat boxes and not getting to you.

Just want to add - sometimes when I play there is significant lag or the board freezes completely. Now when that happens, even if I leave the room, I will lose points.
