I cannot think of a good a general answer, you have to ask the player.

Before 1.11.4, a player with a poor connection could cause the server to
hang for minutes on end, when the connection went dead, or when the player
tried to reconnect.  The server is impatient now (see /show tcptimeout)
but a player on a high latency connection can still cause problems for
the rest.  This is the only way to make the game fair for them.
