     I suggest that, until WGT find a solution, we should create a new thread in the forum which will be used exclusively for posting the names of people doing this.

    Perhaps then people will think twice, because they'll know the whole WGT community is going to be aware of the things they do.

    Update: there is a bug right now where if you join a group and decide you don't want to be in the group while still in the lobby, and you hit Search Again or Create a Group, it doesn't work. We are looking into this now.

    We are now testing additional edge cases with people dropping out of multiplayer lobbies to see if that explains what happened yesterday with the user holding up games for 2 hours.

    Thanks for helping us catch these bugs.

    Update: We found that when you hit Search Again or Create a Group in a game lobby, the host sees you as disconnected and can add a replacement player, but you still see yourself in the lobby. Even if the game is canceled after the host failed to meet the five minute limit, you still see yourself in the lobby. This may explain why some of you were "stuck" in a lobby with a host who did not tee off.

    We will work on a fix, and in the meantime if you go into a group you don't want to be in, a work-around is to close the game client, wait 5 minutes, and relaunch the game. We apologize for any inconvenience.
