How to IMPLEMENT kick votes...

[Uncle Bunkle Beard]

The kick voting systems should equate for participation (both yes and NO votes) and not use some arbitrary value of just yes votes, i.e.:


INSUFFICIENT PARTICIPATION: Some minimal participation (33%?) of the team for a vote to pass/fail at all.

PASS: Percentage of YES vs NO greater than some (50%?) threshold


Server admins will find out what works IF they can tweak the thresholds. It should NOT be some random threshold you set related to slot occupation: e.g. 15/50 yes votes = kick.

The thresholds and number of yes vs no votes should be visible on the vote for all to see, so you can learn what works.

If admins can disable the kick vote they will because it will never work and we'll be left without any have effective voting system again...

No, this is ruin games. Red Orchestra 2 kicks is done by admins and is a success.

Besides the point, server admins are never around.

You're all missing the point: the aim of this post was to discuss how to have effective votes not that we shouldn't both with them at all and let admins do the work instead.

As for admins, that's all great for servers with active ones but most people won't bother to join some random discord server to contact an admin not to mention the rest of the servers that don't.

IMO relying on admins is nothing but a liability regarding the narcissism and abuse that goes hand in hand with them.

Let the server decide, yay to democracy nay to dictatorships.

The vote kick system should work only between "Team Members" and have maybe 4 check boxes for most common reasons to"Vote Kick" a player. This system would not work unless the player chooses a reason.

Once a selection has been made, the question appears "Yes I want to Vote Kick "Player Name" or Cancel.
If "Yes is selected the vote goes into the system and records The Voter, The Vote and Reason including the player to be kicked "Player Name"

Admin can review the players involved and the reasons why the player in question was kicked.

This can tell you if it is the same players are indeed abusing the system or if there is a trouble making player running around the game.

It is also a possibility in some circumstances where a group of players are targeting a specific player, for whatever reasons, in past or present game(s)

Also would be worth trying is an "Early Warning System"
So if it is a trouble making player and other team players give him warnings, (Similar to Vote Kick) Team players send warnings to player and receives warning to be kicked.
Flags for Admins are made in data logs when warnings are sent.
Player receives "X Amount" of warnings which enables the Vote Kick System to start.

Admin would have better information to ban players and find if possibly players which may be abusing Vote Kick as it will be all recorded
