"Ending up with players with 0
who are unable to join games might seem great to your right-wing agenda, but it frankly doesn't make sense to the nature of the website."
Politicizing this issue isn't the way to go Synapse to help your case here.
Oli already mentioned that the mods have the ability to grant points to a player in such extreme circumstances, so no one is really 'stuck' at 0, and as Guaroz described (and others pointed out before), it takes some serious neglect to get into the situation you are in, and so we've set up the system such that it takes some demonstration of renewed commitment to work your way out of such a mess. CD's, even for 'you were gonna die anyway' situations, are not a casual thing and we've chosen a system that punishes such an attitude.
Complaining that the system is flawed, rather than that you made a mistake and need some assistance to get yourself out of the bind, is doing yourself a disservice.
