Anybody with votekick installed on their server is asking for stuff like this to happen. This is why you don't democratize server moderation. It works fine in a small team based game like for L4D but isn't really a great way to run a larger server, especially when it's not some team based thing. Sure, votekick lets you kick the guy spamming pong projectiles but also creates a lot more bullstuff than it alleviates. Not to mention that we got along just fine without votekick for years by just ignoring people. It's just a game server - nobody's ever going to create an emergency so dire than an administrator can't just log in the next morning and clean it all up. Lives aren't at stake here and kicking should just stay in the power of server staff.
Thread is now about the server host running stuffty mods.
