Logging on right now, I saw 10 Public rooms that I or anyone else that is 3rd Dan + could log into that's completely empty. An empty public server is just as easy to exploit as a private server. You could make 1 joint adjustment, spam space, then on the 4th turn or whatever, ragequit. Reboot, redo it again. And it's something that'd be super easy to make automatic.

We've basically decided that due to the nature of Toribash, it's easier to punish quitters without it being abusable than reward those who stay without it being abused. That's why there's an ELO penalty for ragequitting.
