Yeah so basicly what to do.. i mean everyone understand why i installed it, to try and reduce the number of calls and that people at night still have a chance to kick a spammers/cheater/whatever. Now it just gets abused to much since everyone presses F1. Its so stupid that people dont read.
We do have enough admins on vsh, so removing it would be a great job. I haven't seen any kick which was NOT an abuse.
So its going to be removed? I actually like having it incase theres a small problem that doesnt need an admin call .
it's always better to call an admin instead of using votekick and yes, remove it. There have been too many reports of abusing the system
That's what we (admins) are for! We hadn't applied for admin if we didn't wanted to come to the servers now and then to solve (little) problems. Kicking people isn't the right solution to everything! This can be interpreted wrong by the person who is being votekicked: they can feel themselves not welcome and therefor not return to our servers.
This is EXACTLY what it means to be an admin, a good one. Sadly, some admins I met are quite the opposite... It's really a shame. But yea, there are so many admins on the vsh server right now (I dont even know most of them)that votekicking is pretty much useless.
Got some messenges that player kicked other player for no reason(or a cheap reason like need that class solt), so I say Yup. Get rid of it.
Leeet's wait for more player input cause so far this was mostly discussed from admin side, let the players also say something about their point of view cause they do notice when there is no admin present and how the situation is at that time. I personally have bad experience from the system cause I got reports of unrightful kicks. Removing isnt exactly the right solution, it needs improvement... such as not putting the YES vote on 1 cause players press that all the time. And probably limit who can access this system, like needs to have X amounts of play time on the server and this prevents random trolls hopping on with 0 play time only to abuse the system. But till then, remove it. Edit: I always post my opinion before voting and see the current results so my opinion wouldnt change accordingly to how the vote stands. And I must say it seems the player base prefers it removed. 2nd edit: reading further on into other topics I say remove it ASAP.
"Player thoughts" I think that the way Echo proposes it is the best and most effective way of handling the abuse, Just NOT putting "Yes" on F1 will help a lot, and the minimum playtime requirement is also a good idea. Thanks for letting the players decide too. Maybe F1 - No vote F2 - Don't Kick F3 - Kick And maybe forcing the player who starts the vote to add a valid reason so everyone can know why they were kicked? Just sharing my thoughts, do what you want with them
You should check the date: "last post: 7 april". The kick vote got removed and is not coming back (I hope).
wont come back, too much abuse.. problem is that there is always abuse for it. usually people are too stupid to actually care. For example i was on a saxton hale server (not ours) and it was full of player, there was a speedhacker and i typed in !voteban (and even !votekick) and i was the ONLY one that typed it. But that is nothing compared to the super retard question i once got "what is your website?" the website is in the name of the server, some chick even announces it with the name and ingame ads show the site of the website. I first asked if he was kidding or not.
Ok i understand, there isn't an abuse-free way to handle things like this.. Only admins should have this power, this is the only solution i guess...
