Yeah, I made a post just like this that was merged to "Disconnection Penalty" 4-5 pages back in the suggestions thread. This will probably be merged with that. I agree with there being a quitting/spectating penalty. It happens all the time so people can keep their scores high.
As a ragequitter's close friend states: "THAT'S HOW THIS SHIT WORKS RICHAGAR"
And the ragequitter says: "because I was cheated"
Oh, the irony.
This is exactly how the game works so far. Many high ranked players leave before they are going to lose in order to keep their scores higher than other players, or so you don't get the TC reward just because they can't. All games have a quit-penalty, why not Toribash? Seriously!
Toribash can tell the difference between whether a person pinged or quit/spectated, so I suggested a penalty as follows:

Also, if someone consistently pings out of matches, like three times for normal matches, or two times for tourneys, they will be banned from multiplayer for 24 hours/Normal, and 48 hours/Tourney. If the problem really is internet connection, they should get that fixed before even playing Toribash. Having poor internet connection is no excuse for hindering the enjoyment of other players.
As other players state:

The reality is that people who quit in the final do it as a "haha fuck you" because they don't want the other person to get the TC for winning. It's the whole childish if I can't then you shouldn't be able to bullshit.
Now you know that you'll realize that poking someone's ELO/rank as a punishment wont stop or deter it.
Kickbanning is the only obvious solution, though IMO they should have a 24 hour ban from all tourney servers.

I would support implementation of a penalty system for quitting while involved with a match in progress.
This is overall a great idea for Toribash that should be implemented.
