How to use "Cooling-off period" in context?
in a gaming culture
Players in a gaming culture often develop a sense of entitlement. This sense can be justified by the oft-stated "cooling-off period" doctrine. Under this doctrine, game administrators are given the power to suspend or end a player's account for a set period of time, usually a week, in order to ensure that players who are gaming excessively do not continuously advantage themselves over those who are not gaming.
While the doctrine is ostensibly designed to protect non-gamers, many players feel that the suspension or termination of their accounts is an unwarranted and arbitrary punishment.
