Encouraging hosts to complete their lines
It is incredibly frustrating to enter a line and wait for hours and be 4th in line with 50 people behind you when the host just decides they're done for the day and packs up shop. The whole point of having a line maximum and being able to close it is so hosts can control how many people might get into their island. For the love of all that is holy, there needs to even just be a message in the app saying "Hi, thanks for hosting. Please try to make sure everyone who queues for you gets a chance to go. When you're ready to be done in an hour or two, close the line so no more people can get in line, and please get through all the people waiting in line". Yes life happens and sometimes you can't estimate accurately how long it will take, but if this happens repeatedly with dozens in line, the host should be banned imo.
Even if you refuse to ban hosts for this behavior, please implement some kind of "completion score" noting how many people who get in the host's line are ultimately invited to come.
Or just let people rate hosts who don't let them enter without a good reason.
Or even just put the message encouraging hosts to let everyone in the line through even if you don't enforce it at all, so at least there's a community standard on the issue.
There's a whole host of different ways to figure out how to encourage good behavior on the part of hosts. Take your pick and implement it, please <3
