When you disconnect from a civgame,
(when for exemple your isp disconnects you
by force), your name appears quickly in
the "join as" column. 

This is a problem if someone is looking 
for a game and picks your game by hazard.
You've just loose hours of play for a 2 minutes
pause !

May be one should add a password  (for 10 mins) ? 
or a timeout (5-10 mins) to show the name (easier to implement) ?
or differentiate volontary disconnection and forced disconnection ?
(client sending a code like "i'm gone ! someone can take my game !")

What do you think ?

bye
