"Lost Connection From Steam" Glitch. Drop of safety rating

[leenewton1 1]

• A short description of the problem: I was playing ranked multiplayer when steam had one of those "de-syncs" and 90% of the lobby got disconnected. Most of us were disconnected just before the lights went out (including me). After I had reconnected to steam, I rejoined the server and waited for the 1 last guy to finish the race. After the race had completed, the game dropped my skill points (this I can accept), but they also dropped my safety rating points from about 20% or more all the way to 0% despite me not participating in the race? (I am currently dropped to D rating because of this)
