MP Game: How bad is too bad?

According to my experience there are many people willing to sub dying nations.
Some think it's some sort of a challenge: not to die as long as possible, or pull 'hopeless cripple' out of it's grave.
Some take it for 'free combat experience': maximum of battles, minimum of waiting and planning.
Some are just bored and do not want to wait for a new game to get started.

So, if player A had misinformed administrator in a 'no newbs' game about his skill and was acting so awfully badly that leaving him in the game meant 'free provinces' for his neighbour, even if his neighbour was me - I would considered him being subed for someone capable of baring his fangs.
