What area of New Blood are you suggesting this for?
Zombie Survival.
What is your suggestion and how will it work?
One of the most annoying things on zs is people leaving as the last zombie. Say your streaking and you've just taken the trueblood challenge your pretty confident you will win and then the last zombie leaves and you continue the infection. OR you are playing early in the morning and not many people are around, its just you and some other player, they are the the only zombie and you are the only human. They have been trying to catch you for ages now and the round is coming to an end just 2mins or so to go. Then they disconnect. Giving the player a punishment doesn't really make a difference.
My idea is that a player should get the 10 bbs and 10 xp reward that they would have got had they not continued the infection OR if they took the trueblood challenge they should get their 30bbs and 10xp. Its only fair.
What are the advantages of your suggestion?
Players wouldn't be as annoyed when someone leaves as the last zombie and in total honesty its just unfair that players don't get/earn anything in that round because the only zombie left.
I'm not sure whether it would be good for their streak to increase when continuing the infection, but if the zombie wasn't going to play and instead of disconnecting afked unless someone else joined the player(s) would have won the round. So I think streaks should increase. Feel free to give your oponion.
What are the disadvantages of your suggestion? Some players might use this to farm streaks or bloodbags with alts.
To solve the farming / alt issue, I think it'd be better if the player that continued the infection doesn't gain nor lose anything. If they are on a winstreak, they don't lose it but don't gain a win from the round where the only zombie left either.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure continuing the infection does not affect your current win streak. Not 100% sure if you get the money back for TB's but that can easily be coded in if so.
Yorkie is correct, streaks are not affected when the only zombie leaves the server and the same applies for Truebloods. You regain the amount you used, so nothing is lost. The only solution I can see is making the punishment for leaving as only zombie greater, such as losing money and a case could be made for losing xp, but I don’t think it will make a huge impact.
Apologies for a delay in response to your suggestion.
Reloggers can be very annoying, however due to the reasons mentioned by others - a bloodbag reward isn't a great idea because of farming etc...
I am going to decline this suggestion, HOWEVER... There is actually an alterative solution to the base issue that is currently in the system and awaiting a Dev. If a player relogs as only Z, it leaves behind a bot that acts as a Zombie. No timeframe yet on the progress of this however but just thought you should be aware there is a potential solution in the works.
