abuse of pause funtion

[Shai--Hulud]

When having a team game it happens that one player pauses for a moment (door bell, phone call etc) which is perfectly fine. However, chances are that there is at least one rude player who doesn't care and unpauses even though the other player isn't back yet. As you can pause only a couple of times but you can unpause as often as you like the guy who wants to ruin the game always wins. I understand that it's safer to allow everyone to unpause. However, is it possible to display who unpaused the game as it would make things so much easier?

+1 for this Idea to display who paused/unpaused the game!

Created an issue for this on github.

i would suggest to have a setting to allow/forbid issuing commands while game is paused
makes total sence to make it forbidden

Thanks! Sorry about the wrong thread - will post in the suggestions section next time. =)

One common thing that happens when pausing is: One player says "Pls pause the game" - 4 People press pause and the result is: Pause, unpause, pause, unpause and the game goes on. So it doesn't have to be a rude player on purpose (though this is often the case). In the end there is always confusion and frustration.

Again, thanks for looking into this issue.

Yeah, there's literally no good reason for this feature.

That's not ture, there is maybe not much use in competitive games, but less competitive people that play with friends or vs AI might want to pause exactly for the purpose to give orders without time pressure. You could make it a game lobby option, but it's not really a problem that you can give orders.

Thread suggestion is good though.

Would be great to know who keeps unpausing, cant ban people without it (with lobby manager). Those guys need to be known.

I think if you pause the game, I can setup manual reclaim, my next bases, etc while I have to wait.
