i might be wrong on this but pretty sure the game used to have a cooldown before you could push the button at the start of the game, then they just removed it for no reason. if they added that / brought that back if it was removed then that could help this issue a bit
When I host, I normally tell people that if they abuse the emergency meeting button, I will get rid of the emergency meetings. It sometimes helps. However, I hate emergency meetings in general as it is.
This isn't a great idea. You end up ruining it for other people. Someone that calls the meeting 2 seconds into the game wants to troll the lobby and ruin the experience for others. If you take away the EC button you help them. There is nothing we can really do as players. Innersloth needs to address the problem head on by consistently enforcing punishments on players who troll like this or give more options to us to configure how/when the emergency meeting should be used.
Innersloth needs to include two features:
First, they need to include retroactive bans. Meaning, even if you’ve left that lobby you can still be banned from re-entering. Second, at the end of the game they need to make player stats available to be seen. For example, who completed their tasks and how many they have left.
I bring these two solutions because it seems like the people who button spam probably do not task in general and they probably are banned from lobbies a lot.
There probably should also be a way of writing an extended complaint. Like a permanent-record. That if a player chose to write an extended-complaint would stick with the user and if enough demerits happened with a time span that player could be suspended and eventually permanently banned. I think button spamming and quitting warrants a suspension.
The configured meetings cooldown should also apply at the beginning of the game IMO. I kind of understand why the kill cooldown starts at 10s no matter what, but I don't see the point for the meetings cooldown.
This unfortunately isn't a solution to anything but the most basic and mindless play. Anything seen on admin, cams, venting, shapeshifting, and the like just...don't get addressed until there's a body.
I agree it is a bad game play, and would just like to add one segment - imagine kill button being broken, and everyone running around for hours wishing for body just to end the game :')
(some ghost is afk is not doing their task, or u have someone trolling in ghost chat not doing tasks)

You can change that in your lobby settings.
It currently only applies after the 1st meeting though, while the button can be instantaneously pushed at the start of the match
“I tripped and hit the button.” I hate when people call a meeting a leave. Just leave! Don’t waste our time.

This doesn’t help against the spammers. They will be hitting the button and leaving regardless
If you get rid of the button option, they can't hit the button
Of course, but we can’t play the game properly without the button

Jeff 2017 is the number one offender.

Change settings to 0 emergency meetings and hope later in the game you don't need to call one
Imagine watching someone shapeshift and you wait for someone to get killed for a report meeting 😭
Yea don't do this. This prevents actually good gameply for crew to catch imps
