You are brand new to this site or you would remember the failure that was the three days limit before the you get auto-moved. Nor you can't remember the ocean of unfinished games that there were before the introduction of auto-mover.
I live you with these reflection:
1) A 3 days limits takes you to be auto-moved for a week end out.
2) A 5 days takes you to be auto-moved for a week of vacation.
3) A lot of players dislike ending auto-moved for the previous two reasons.
4) It is easier that the people identified in point 3 quit playing on tis site.
Personally I never join games with an auto-move limit of less of 7 days. Since I'm not the only to do it several of these games doesn't start at all while they would have we a 7 days limit.

I leave you another reflection.
I never join games with free placement. Several times I opened the same scenario with standard or area placement 3 times on 4 my games start before the ones with free placement.
