I agree, free accounts should be restricted in some ways. It is a trolls paradise right now.
And the lobbies may need more tools. Kicking someone if he can rejoin instantly doesn't make any sense. It only raises the anger in both sides.
We need real private lobbies too, anybody in my contacts list or in the contacts list of someone in the lobby can join a private game right now. Even if the map is private. We need private lobbies, where people can't join, but can only be invited.
This just shows again that blizzard doesnt give a damn about mapmakers and arcade, this is a major bug as in
their patch notes when this was added april 2015 "only pending players can be kicked". So more then 1
year has passed and still nothing except ignore it.
Starter accounts shouldn't be allowed into the arcade at all. There are people that deliberately destroy competitive games, and I repeat in their own words: "I will keep making starter accounts and trolling until this game burns in the ashes [...]". It's almost like Blizzard endorses such behavior, and it's these fucking assholes in arcade that has made mafia apparently ban all accounts that haven't played before. I seriously don't expect Blizzard to do anything about this, I've done everything in my power to bring the issue of starter accounts to their attention and they ignored, just like the ignore hacking and botting issues in matchmaking.
They did specifically make it so starter accounts could be in the arcade, as a free option that encourages them to buy the game. maybe let them be overridden by payed players as hosts?
Be sure to check out the extension mod: Hots Custom Map support on NA and EU, Despite the name it greatly expands the roster of options for the default 3 races and is updated all the way to NCO.

No.
Joiners keep filling the "blocked" lobby until it auto starts.. or ..
...
Simple invite work is required to get people from the blocked lobby to the second one though.
And plenty of pissed off waiting bored people to report the blocker....
How easy can it get? How much must blizzard do before it is ridiculous?
Oh yes please, make that feature implementable by mapmakers YES!
Don't HOWEVER punish all other uninterested and against such vile practices.. leaving us with radioactive waste!
Ban big brother!
