At the moment the only way to tell if a player has disconnected is to look in the console logs. This is irritating during gameplay, as it takes up time and can be knocked off by more recent console messages. In addition, it can also cause gameplay related problems when a traitor disconnects, because no-one knows how many are dead. My suggested solution is adding a new section to the scoreboard for disconnected players, essentially a "confirmed dead" list for players who have left the game. This would fix various gameplay problems involving bad communication and misunderstandings involving the traitor count.

I'm not sure if this is possible technically, but I'd assume so considering the scoreboard is custom. Tell me otherwise if I'm wrong.

Here is a mockup of this idea:

I agree with this idea. The Disconnected section should also get cleared every time the round ends.

Not a bad idea for admin purposes a players final karma before leaving should also be included this is known as the live karma i believe but if that was displayed as a player disconnects it would be helpful to admins with players who RDM and leave.

The problem is that this is going to be a huge pain in the ass to implement. Those disconnected players are gone from the game, yet for this scoreboard thing to work they still have to be dealt with as if they are connected (when their body gets found and they were traitor, etc). Not going into the technical details here, but that would take a ton of work.

Not going to happen.
