Vote Kick Abuse

[Trenix]

So it looks like just simply having a knuckles avatar in a public room, can result in getting a vote kick. Really, not even saying the typical same spamming remarks which I know some do, but just simply being knuckles. When kicked, it appears to also report moderators about it, so it would be nice if people abuse this feature could get introuble. I shouldn't have to worry about being kicked for using a particular avatar.

Also the verbal abuse towards kuckles players is getting unreal. The meme basically got this game popular and now people think it's perfectly fine to curse out knuckle players? Either deal with these toxic players or remove a feature that is so easily exploited. That's all I ask. I shouldn't have to worry about picking a certain skin and risk getting banned from the game because people don't like it.

This has already been the second time it happened.

Don't worry, I've been kicked atleast 30 times by now and have had no problems. I think the message is used to scare you.

Simply play seriously and just not use a knuckles... *solved*

The knuckles meme has not done anything good for the game. The exploding popularity was not needed. The game is full of trash and crashing servers. I really understand these people.

Then play in private rooms until people have calmed down and the meme has slowly died. A whole lot of people are irritated over what this meme has causedd "including myself" and I totally understand them. You cant expect people to be happy having you guys around. Personally I dont really care anymore now. I will only block people who abuse the avatar to be annoying but some others are stil more annoyed than me by them.

Also by the way if the sonic fandom is so important to you, you should have known this avatar was designed to condescend and patronize the whole fandom...

The world doesn't revolve around you and nor others who simply dislike something. There is a thing called mob rule, a perfect example of why democracies are the worst form of ruling. This vote feature is abusive and has been throughout MANY other games, not just this one. I don't care if you hate the meme, simply mute me. If I went around saying, "do you know the way", 24/7 and annoying players with that, then ok.

However, forcefully kicking me out because I pick a specific avatar that you dislike, is ridiculous as best. I personally find it disturbing when majority of guys play female avatars, but do see me vote kicking them? Do you feel it is right if I get someone kicked for something like that? This feature shouldn't exist and honestly people who have intentionally abused it should be permanently suspended in my honest opinion.

I said I dont ever touch this abuse tool. Im just trying to explain why other people do it. Personally I only "Block" people I dont like or who I find annoying. Which doesnt affect that person at all. It only affects me. It wont make him kicked. Whenever I see a "vote to kick" I click decline as these people never seem to have done anything to be kicked.

What I do say is that I understand why many people are annoyed by this. But personally I dont want to touch the vote to kick. Ive never seen a reason for it because everyone can simply just block whoever instead. Tbh I think they should just remove the whole feature. Because the block function kinda obsoletes the vote to kick...

As I said. Personally I only use the block function rather than just "vote to kick" which I always decline when I see it. And whenever I see it it's usually not even knuckles. Ive never seen it targeting knuckles. Its abused to anyone. I see people getting this vote for simply walking around in normal avatars doing nothing. So I get that this function is abused as heck.

I don't personally understand the Knuckles hate, but it's impossible to avoid recognizing it exists. So, if you choose a Knuck, you will catch some flak. Just as it was popular to be a knuck a while back, it is just as popular to be anti-knuck in the moment. Yin and Yang.

It's 2018 internet chatroom. Some people will troll you for whatever whim they have at the time, whether or not you are a knuckles. Choosing an avatar that invites trolling almost certainly will result in it. I suggest another avatar if you are getting trolled or votekicked a lot.

Mostly, I see knucks everywhere and they are doing just fine if they aren't spitting on people. Occasionally someone takes issue with them. I guess they are an easy target for someones angst. lol

I'm sure this issue can be fixed with a cool down for all users except from myb group owner in a group world they have created

So all other users should have to wait like 1 hour or more after they have used start a vote kick before they can start next vote kick

This method will not remove the option completely, just only nerf it and even if a user not get enough vote, then the user can ask some one else to try start it again and explained why blocking the person is not enough

If the issue that people group up on random users to vote kick them, then it don't help to have infinite tries to get rid of that group but the nerf will only change the fact in this case that it sure can help stop that group to vote kick random when all in that group already have tried and put a great limit on these abusers

I have already added the suggestion on VRchat feedback site but I need support to upvote my suggestion in hope of reduce this abusement
