Resources aren't "wasted", they're delayed in this kind of circumstance. AFKers will only fill up to storage at which point their share gets split amongst non-excessing players.

That
said,
I
don't
think
you're
being
malicious
with
this
sort
of
kick.
I
think
it's
more
misjudged
than
anything.
Clearly
you
care
about
the
game,
and
while
it's
fine
to
be
concerned
about
balance,
I
don't
think
this
sort
of
action
has
good
long
term
affects.
You
should
view
using
kick,
however,
as
if
you
are
a
moderator
yourself
and
employ
judgement
that
is
[b]community
orientated[/b]
in
public
games.

@Surfmaniac was not doing anything to really harm anyone else. Yes, it can skew balance [b]very slightly[/b], but these sorts of things are what WHR is there for. Your job as a moderator isn't to fix game balances; it's to fix social issues and keep the peace. Other players were not complaining about them either.. so you've failed the first check.

Does @Surfmaniac have a history of playing poorly on purpose? AFAIK, they still have the benefit of the doubt and as such I'm way more likely to write this off as fatigue, toilet break, reorientation, luaui reload, or stretching (This game took place at their 02:00 which was your 08:00, you're more likely to be fresh while they're more likely to be winding down or on their final hours of the day.. keep that in mind). Remember: you should not expect people to play at your level or at 100%, 100% of the time. Be fair with your expectations.

Did you try to talk to them about their actions? It seems you did not and this was what @Aquanim was trying to communicate to you about more or less.

People in the community have a bad habit of using kick without explaining why they're kicking the other person. Granted there are some things you have free fire on (like teamkilling or team commnapping.. obvious griefing). Let's think about this in a behavioral modification way: If you were to ban someone for no reason given, how would you expect someone to know what they've done in order to avoid being banned again?

I do think you should reach out and apologize to @Surfmaniac for the kick, at the very least. We should do what we can to maintain functional social relationships in the community as we're more or less stuck with each other.
