Players dismantling bases and leave/rejoin to avoid votekicks.

[Khronics]

So i'm on a vanilla server atm and i've seen this happen multiple times, it's ridiculous that such a form of griefing is possible still when the game has been out for so long.

Leaving and rejoining shouldn't stop a votekick, votekicks need to include a short term ban if it doesn't already and there needs to be a way to stop people dismantling radio towers and bouncing between bases doing the same thing.

Is this a player on the opposite team? Dismantling and enemy radio tower is a strategic move and not cheating or grieving.

If they are on your team and dismantling their own then that is different.

Yeah, I've recently got the game, played mil sim's since operation flashpoint. Anyway I join and go to select a kit, and multiple times now have had people dig down the aresnal so they can spawn a chopper or truck and bail. Should also be a ticket limit on how much someone can withdraw to reduce supplies running out, as some people running around with 20 magazines...

Yeah that sucks. Sounds like maybe a spy.. someone playing for the other team. Not sure how that could be addressed. Not sure if locking disassembly of your own teams radio tower to a certain rank would help. Is it really even a necessity for you to disassemble your own towner? If not, then make it where you can only disassemble enemy towers.

If leaving the server avoids a votekick this game is a bigger joke than I thought. If you leave when being votekicked the kick should auto pass and ban duration applied. This is not a new concept. It's as if the developers want to promote griefing and bad behavior with how poorly the punishment system is. Votekick bans only last a few minutes, teamkill bans are 5 minutes.

Votekick bans likely only last a few moments because the Developers know, we as players have quite a few bad apples that WILL abuse the vote kick system. Having a small ban prevents players from being wrongly banned for an entire day, but having 5 minutes of a ban allows the player to be removed if they actually are a problem.

Most servers have queues (if they are any good) so this also prevents them from coming back into that specific server.

Tbh the server does normally have a queue but it was at a weird time that's too late for americans and too early for europe, so while the server was full, there wasn't a queue.

i hope the DEVs are looking into this Toxic game play by the barbies .

I play almost exclusively on WCS servers and that sort of stuff is not tolerated and players will be quickly booted. And then they have their timeout plus the server queue. And WCS said they track that stuff on official WCS servers and they will permaban repeat offenders.

And I have also seen folks call out friendly main base campers, give their location to the enemy in Chat, and initiate player kicks. So for you folks complaining about TKers and griefers, I just have not seen that.
