On votekicking

Thiamor, I really don't like your ideas.
That is worse than the current system. Sure, let's vote on an innocent dude who has a keg on his back, make him freeze. Why not just randomly freeze everyone who is suspicious? We can just hire random kids as admins so they can freeze who they want.
If you don't like my idea, then let's put the above posts together:
-You can turn on and off this system so it won't bother you (would make kicks almost impossible, not enough vote)
-There is a small camera on the screen which is focused on the accused player.
-If the player was rightfully kicked before, it takes less vote for the next kicks (this status disappears by time, but this can be abusable)
Looks like this new vote system is not going anywhere.

 

The most definitive things to change would be:

1. Abstain Button
2. Decrease Screen Clutter (Translucent Window; Small Window; Slide the Window Elsewhere)

 

No single system you could implement is flawless, yes it is a pain if someone griefs and the votekick system won't let you kick him for whatever reason it might be, but a video in the screen would bug me as well cause all the innocent votekicks will also pop up and trolls will abuse it Everyone here knows some people in this game are just out there to try to bug and annoy as much people as possible and this sounds like the perfect option to do that.

There should just be something like a 'Call admin' button somewhere with a good set of Guards / Admins to back it up. If the votekick works, no problem, if not, you can call an admin to come. No this is not flawless, I know that!

 

There is a call admin function: simply hop on irc and do !guard.

 

Yeah you're not a genius for discovering that, dude. Just not everyone sits on irc all day long, not everyone even knows about it... A button is a thing which seems to be more intuitive. Noticable. I feel like it would be used more. Hell more. Even... abused. That's the problem I would fear the most. If it was bound to irc... That would spam guards way too much. So, I think irc IS the best solution for now.

 

Let's mix ideas :
- A small camera focusing on suspected griefer while hovering a smaller voting boxes with a third "abstain" option.

 

thats horrible false votekicks would annoy the fk out of people

this would be good

 

ring ring hello

why yes I'd like to buy one unit of competent admin please

that'll be $69 thank you come again

 

Democracy is participatory. Your average team is about as informed as the American voter population, so votekicks work just about as well.

 

i usually just scream that the griefer is a communist who is destroying american values and liberties

bam, instant kick

 

Kicked. Reason: Muh Freedumbs.

 

Yeah right, works on an US server. But what if I'm EU?

 

duh, call them a gypsy.
