If a host opens a game and goes AFK for more than 10 minutes. He gets booted out.

There's been a game up for about 2 hours now, with two afk players in it. It's been filling up with as many as 8 players, waiting for the game to start.

or at least the room gets that "timed out" symbol on it

I'd say go with an afk symbol and the ability for a host to set a topic in his battleroom, so he can tell people what's going on.

imho, the most simple idea is that when you join a game, you've got a message wich say something like that : "Last message from host : 3 min"

Jesus christ you've made so many threads in such a small time span.

-But yeah, I agree with the suggestion.

You all forget this is not the thread for this.

post in game lobby.

and this has been suggested before already somewhere.

for general suggestions for the lobby and lah, check this good thread, be sure to read Betalord's post.

In other words, use the Mantis bug/request tracking system.

I have also noticed some people polluting the lobby with fake, passworded games and vanity names when they are not around, intentionally.
