Hello LZ members, This is my first post here but I've been playing for quite some time now on your servers. I noticed lately that alot of people are kicking for the most ridiculous reasons imaginable. Even those that are members of the LZ clan and long time members of the LZ community. The funny thing is people just press F1 not even knowing what they are voting for. A few minutes ago I was playing on the Saxton Hale server on the Offblast map. As some of you know this map is designed with a deep cliff where people (and the hale) can fall off and take damage. So I decided to go pyro in order to blast the Hale off the edge and thereby doing what I am supposed to do: Killing hale. Then the following members started to harass me and telling me to stop: Red eyes and Hooded Owl. I told them to stop crying as there was nothing wrong with what I was doing. Then Red Eye started a vote and I got kicked. Now I don't mind the kick that much as I can just join another server. But I am somewhat disappointed to see as how some players in the LZ community are taking this game too serious. This is not the first time this happened. I've seen others getting kicked and harassed for no reason. Not long ago I was kicked by another person who frequently posts here just because Hale wouldn't kill me (I had nothing to do with that). Just a heads up to all of you guys, keep it nice and it's just a game.
*Sigh*. This is exactly the reason why I want the votekick gone from VSH. There is way too many kiddos on the server, who don't have much of a brain. So these kids, who think they are awesome on the Internet love to grief, and love having power to kick. You do one thing wrong, a vote is started. And the fact that you stated, people just press F1 without looking what the vote is for. Imo, get rid of this option, or the options pablo stated in this thread.
what was pablo's thing? cant remember everything.. the only reason why the kick is there to kick annoying peolpe (like spam/flame/whatever) pushing hale off as pyro is no issue and nobody should care about that. Usually its full of demo's with stickys in such a way he gets blasted off the map too ;p
The sad part is that RedEye complained to me earlyer that his friend was votekicked cause he was a pyro using the Third Degree and being charged forever. I am severly disappointed in him now.
