    We don't have a way to track them properly because for some unknown reason we aren't logging everything in-game. I'm all for something like that because of things like this. Servers should log everything and be able to opt in to sending their logs our way. Vote recieved from XYZ player, etc. If we expose the log-viewing interface then those of you that are wronged in game could spend 5 minutes sifting through the recent kick logs to find out who voted for you and report them for voting abuse with the link.
    Just little things like that would make the issue a lot more manageable.

    I'm so glad votekicking is gone next build, we just need to build auto-reporting into the TAB-kick so we can catch out abusing groups. I think it should take at least 30% of the room to vote someone out though, not 30% of the team :/

    I've also pondered the possibility of making voting a visual thing, with a big green check or red cross speech bubble emitted from your guy when you vote. That way you can at least identify the dickheads.

    I think the reason was "NOOB!" or something like that. After you he kicked several other people for the same reason.

    DukeNukem on the Russian Test Server.
    He built a stone wall to entomb our flag and everyone in it (no OPs).
    I called him out on it, so he votekicked.
    Possibly just targeted by beaver for my shiny new HA tags.

    Instead, you should votekick them first instead of "calling them out on it." Griefers with half a brain will try and remove any threats fast.
    However...
    This is probably the case.

    He switched teams right after the vote failed to avoid getting kicked.

    Yeah, I saw that Remski. Know he's just on there cussing at everyone. Mods, can you just delete his account already?
    I agree with Loki. Can someone just delete/ban all known and suspected accounts of his? Nothing of value will be lost. And worst case, they come here and prove they're legit.

    1. TestuJack (Testuo? Didn't get a good luck at it, was trying to type 'bullshit')
    2. Claimed I was a griefer. I was an archer at the time. A knight beforehand, but was attacking the enemy base, not griefing.
    3. EU server
    4. Just there
    5. Didn't get a screen of it.

    It's only for 10 minutes, but these Beaver tactic clones are getting annoying.

    DukeNukem again. He showed up on my team a couple minutes ago and kicked someone with the usual "GRIEFING HARASSMENT" reason. When I told my team that he was beaver, he told me I'm added to his list. I'm honored XD.

    NAME: SVC or SCV
    WHAT HE DID: SCV/SVC weakened but did not outright destory defenses. He would then switch to the other team and finish destroying your weakened defenses.


    I had an underground OP with a great frontal defense (lots of doors and a pit to prevent knights from standing on it. The top of my OP was protected by about 4 layers of gravel rock (the natural kind). The "griefer" started mining the rock slowly but continuously. At first, I gave it no thought because it wasn't too unusual. Then he mined down to only one layer left such that enemies could easily penetrate it. I asked him what he was doing and he just said " i drop rocks"... Then he quit the game as people tried to votekick him. He then rejoined a few seconds later as red and proceeded to finish mining a hole in my ceiling which allowed enemy troops in.

    I'm fairly sure this mining of the rocks was purposeful and not by accident.

    I would like this motion denied on the grounds that he kept throwing bombs at everything I was building a few minutes ago during the warmup period and blowing me up as well. Zx300 was also doing it, and tunneling our teams base on a different server this morning (didn't bother taking a screen, though).

    If you see him, switch team if necessary and mark him, then tell other people to mark him. He failed trying to kick anyone in another game he was in, and he joined 3 separate times (once as testojack)

    He joined on the other team a few minutes ago, I told my team several times to kick him on site if he came on ours. Then I was suddenly marked as a griefer by duke and kicked within seconds. I really think the majority of KAG players have some form of mental disability.

    Yeah, luckily in the game I was talking about we had the rest of HA there waiting to kick him, just got me and overlord to continually switch teams and eventually mark him out. It was kind of brutal. Hunting the hunter lol.
