An idea to discourage deadbeating with new recruits

ok, i had to wait about two or so weeks to win this game with 2 doubles teams all deadbeating. so i came up with this idea. if you deadbeat, you lose half you're points, and they are spread out throughout the teams that don't deadbeat. then, you lose points to the winners. this could be for just new recruits or everyone
priority- 3.5 we need to stop deadbeating, but the question is how

well u obviously couldnt do it 2 every 1 because if they are on vactaion and deadbeat 2 games well there basically going to be last on the rank list for new recriuts it could be a problem but there are a lot of deadbeats

I dont think you should lose half your points. a fairer solution would be to lose double the points you normally would (but the winner wont gain the extra points)

see i think the points should be evenly disspersed throughout the rest of the players, for being so patient!

ok, I agree the players should get the rest of the points evenly

I don't think taking away points will solve deadbeating.

it would solve some and it would make exisisting players more happy

Not a good idea.
2 ways to profit:
Ok, start a game and create 5 multis, and you get even more points, you get them for winning, and for them deadbeating.(so you would encourage cheating)
Or the non cheating way:
Join a game that has more than 1 "?" player in it.
You will probably gain points from it
