Banning system suggestion

So, today I started a 3v3 bot game with two of my friends, just for fun. Next thing you know, I have to leave (for reasons justified better than parent freakouts), and every 3 minutes I have to scramble back to my computer and move my character around so I don't get disconnected (of course, my friends didn't mind. We didn't care when we started the game). Finally, I couldn't make it to my computer in time, and got DC'd. And I'm pretty sure that still counts as "Leaving a game," and even though that's only the second time I've ever left a game from level 1 to 20, I still feel like the system may misinterpret what happened and put me on the "look out, we might have to ban this guy" list.

I have an idea. At the end of a game, players can judge whether their teammate had a justifiable reason to leave. Or, if the server detects all three are in a party, leaving the game will not have any effect on your tribunal record, etc.

Just a thought. Tell me what you think.

The only problem i see with this is that most people will never see anything you tell them as a justifiable reason and just report you anyways.

For instance, if you're in my situation and Skyping with friends, I think they would understand and help you out once the game is done. It's happened many times when a teammate has left and I didn't care what reason he has, but if you're lucky enough to be on a respectful team, telling them you have to leave for reasons beyond your control may be valid enough for them to vouch for you. It's an honor system, basically, and if you're good enough to get your team's respect, you can be saved from being banned.
