If your hosting a room and go afk, than we should beable to get that person banned from being a future host.
If you think you are going to have to go afk, than dont host a room. its pritty simple. the amount of afk hosts has ben
getting out of hand, i think these people are doing this on purpose to ruin other people game time. and they work as a
team to get the next few rooms open as thier buddy's room gets rdy to leave so that everyone joins thier room so
they can waste everyones time 3-5 rooms at a time.
If your gona host a room you should be available for the next 10 mins and not go afk, i dont think thats too much to ask
its not just your time its all of our time as well. this is just getting way out of control and like i said i dont think its an accedent,
i think these people are doing this on purpose.
If we have a afk host there should be a way for people in the room to report that host and have it confermd and then
ban that person from hosting a room in the future!

Being an afk host isn't always your fault. Either way at some point in your time playing navyfield you will go afk. Its prob impossible to not to in your time of playing navyfield. My dad has a nice roomy, fast, new, gaming computer and every once in awhile i go afk as host or maybe you were unaware. For your information we all have lives ya know. If you dont like an afk host and cant wait.
1. Learn patience
2. Use the exit button
3. Whats going to happen when your that afk host. Whats going to happen when that rule goes into action.
If you dont like my advice just quit the game because even if they doput the rule in action they got stuff to do it wont happen anytime soon. So shutup and either play the game and deal with it or dont play it at all.

i kinda agree with this.
losing hosting power is not that harsh of a punishment but it is enough to teach afkers a lesson. rec

I would say a 24 hour ban from hosting would be fair. Also, if you have to go afk while hosting, just leave and come back in. Everybody understands that RL things come up, but there is NO emergency that doesn't give you enough time to hit the 'esc' key twice quick.

And when someone does that and leaves as Host someone who was not willing to be one and went to make some coffee? Are you going to ban that next person for being an AFK host? (because this is what this suggestion is making) I get just as frustrated as anyone when there are AFK hosts. But unless its a coded solution like the auto-start, the problem won't be solved by banning or reporting. Just take a look at what you do daily when you are not hosting. Most people enter the room because there is a host, and then calmly alt+tabs and waits for the game to start... all those people are potential AFK hosts. All it takes, is for the original host to have a problem and leave, or crash.

Glad to see some common sense ^^

Again, this is not harsh enough to become a big deal. If you did not originally open the room, and went AFK, then it is less likely that you will be hosting anyway. Going AFK overall is a problem especially when your team starts with 1 or 2 AFK BB/CV.
The secondary problem has a solution but no one bothered to implement it. When the window pops up saying "you have become the new host", there should be a timer before jumping to the next player in line.

U dont think AFK is a problem in every game? Going from a very popular FPS game, playing SnD when your teammates are AFK u think that helps? Are they banned? No. they are kicked from game for being afk. Same with NF. Thats just one example. I can go on to list even PS2 game called SOCOM. It sucks now, the franchise is trashed because they tried to make it like that FPS game above. But when rooms had a host and required him to ready up. to start the room everyone had to leave and find a new lobby/server. The better solution to a stupid ban would be a vote system. or even at 9 minutes, automatically close the room and go no matter what the balence is just so the room is played.

I would say that i agree with Mouth. He actually suggested something reasonable. Being Banned for ever will eventually be banning everyone except for the new noobs that just started. And a lot of them have a serious problem with hosting rooms with inpatient and serious players such as GB. I also want to mention that between a certain period of time between about ( rough estimate ) 1:00 pm and about 2:00pm or later every single room is filled with afk hosts and its like a join and exit game and i go through about 5 to 10 GB rooms waiting 10 mins each which is a bit rediculous.
PS: Sorry for my earlier post i was a bit mad and tired.
