☕️'Kicked by admin' vent corner. Share your frustrations☕️

[MrRober95]

For people to vent about the most absurd reasons they were kicked. I will start with some of mine:

-On the hobo in the woods map, I said in chat "whoever explodes is gay". Five seconds later three other players open a door and die, the admin yells "I'M GAY" as if that was a bad thing and kicks me. I found it rather funny, and no I wasn't the one who opened the door, I was entering from another floor.

-Kicked by wearing a gas mask.. That's it. Not a "are you using gas?" or "change cosmetics please", nope, insta kick. I don't even use gas, just have the mask in case someone else uses it. Plus it looks cool.

-Kicked by joining or existing. Do people even know you can create friends only lobbies?

-Killing a retreating suspect. Port map, other guy shoots a semi-far away suspect in the ass while we yell to surrender, he ignores us and is about to retreat to cover so I shoot him to incapacitate. What followed was a "who did it" along with a kick three seconds later. We didn't even loose score, TOC approved of the shot but the host didn't.

-Disco map. Sees bomb guy. We all have lethal. Bomb guy tries to retreat. I shoot bomb guy and kill him. Host restarts. I ask why restart. Kicked. WhaTDoyOUWanTtohUGHiM?!!?

-And the most frustrating of all. Someone else does something bad (shoot a civilian, executed a suspect...) and for some reason the host believes it was you and kicks you, no questions asked. Even if you are half map away.


Can we get a voting system for kicking like in Team Fortress 2 please? Host nominates someone to kick and at least half the lobby needs to vote yes? Ok enough of me, share your stories :D

No, to your last statement. Host should have power over their lobbies. If you don't like it, host your own lobby. I kick people for several reasons, I don't want to wait on a timer or have it fail.

Ah, the other side of the coin. This thread can go both ways, so share the most absurd reasons why you kicked someone.

I try not to kick for absurd reasons. A handful of times, I had a nearly full lobby with mostly randoms and a friend wanted to join. I've kicked new randos to keep the spot open. But I typically kick for vulgar/racist language, team killing, being afk, or screaming in the mic to make everyone go deaf. That's before the individual mute in the menu was working

1. Admin is always right.
2. Never played not as admin.
3. RoN play only with friends.

Racists deserve to be Blocked, not just Kicked. The Block button is a godsend.

Yes, having a working block function is awesome all around. Even for people randomly joining lobbies. They don't have to worry about the watchman anymore

Also have been kicked for speaking English, for not speaking English, for just not speaking, for having a gasmask equipped, for using CS gas when I literally was alone there (the host came after I arrested all suspects in the room and started yelling about there is a gas and kicked me), for using the flash launcher (no idea, the host just hated flash launchers?), for being falsely accused (another player killed a civi and told it was me, lol), teamkilled and kicked because another player used CS gas grenade infront of the team but gasmask was on me and not on who threw the nade, and more and more weird situations.

Though all of this can be countered with you making a lobby yourself, but unfortunately when I make a lobby people barely join, no matter is it vanilla or modded lobby.

The kick function should exist to be able to kick trolls, teamkillers and so on.
But adding a function like "block the previous host" would be very nice.

Communication is important. If you have a Mic, you should use it when joining people's Lobbies. I actively Ban no-mic'ers from my Lobby (there's a crazy amount of them).

Amen to that block host option. Seems like wearing a gasmask is more trouble than it's worth

Text chat and commands aren't a form of communication? At least you ban so people don't waste their time joining your server again, but if you expect EVERYONE to have a mic in a public match... Well, you surely have to wait a long time to fill the server.

Imagine hosting a random lobby and expecting everyone to communicate instead of just joining an LFG group lol

And I don't mind waiting. If only people would just have Headsets / Mics so they could effectively communicate. The people loading in without Mics are the ones who are wasting my time. I have to Ban so many of them from my Lobby every single day it's insane (but I'll keep doing it. I'm weeding out all the people I don't want to play with - and there's nothing wrong with that). The community has gone to sh*t since 1.0 came out. It used to be better. Now there's a bunch of noobs and people that have no idea how to communicate.

Them not having Mics is their issue - not mine. There's PLENTY of Lobbies that they can join where there's no communication, no rules, no coordination, no seriousness, etc. - I run my Lobby tight for a reason - because I'm not like the vast majority of other Hosts.

Imagine hosting a random lobby and expecting everyone to communicate instead of just joining an LFG group lol

Imagine playing Co-Op in a Tactical FPS and not even having a Mic.

You lost me here chief, that people don't have mics doesn't mean they can't coordinate or follow rules. I must have dreamed all the good games I've played where people played as a team and backed each other without uttering a word.

But oh poor you for having to ban so many users instead of playing with friends or in a group, it must be real hard and tiresome *sarcasm*

Imagine thinking you need a mic to S rank everything.
The game is easier than ever , you can literally speedrun 90% of the maps in 4-5 mins with an A+ ranking.

If you are not good enough to do it, you can't blame the community.
So again, imagine expecting randoms to use a mic instead of using an LFG.

But all is well, you are better off, and they are especially better off that they can't join your lobbies.
So win-win i guess.

Maybe he is lonely? Understandable in that case btw
