Author Topic: Facechild- Votekicking for no reason.  (Read 14752 times)


I did read and I am aware he admitted it.

i understand why, now



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.
I didn't know Wedge still hung around. Cool.
Anyways, he's completely right here. Votekick is horrible and the only way you can really make a server well-moderated is to have a good admin online at all times.

No girlz alowd!!

this might work!

any server that even HAS vote kicking, isnt one that is worth being on.

only handicaps have it

No, it was because I wasn't entirely sure it was a trolling post, until I read the 2nd to last sentence.

Calm your tits.
-First of all, i do not take this game seriously at all.
-Second of all I had no legitimate reason to votekick this guy but it was funny so I did it.
-Thirdly, there were about 20 other votekicks going on if you wren't paying attention. The server was all pretty "trolly" if you can't handle a 5 minute ban it's probably not the server for you.

P.S. I'd do it again if I had the chance, I guess you'll have to votekick me first next time. (Don't worry I'll probably vote yes, because funny.)

..you realize he's right. it's a mod for making the actual act of policing the server up to a bunch of children who would rather see the server go down in merry flames than see any sort of order go on.

Votekick is like having a band of angry 6 year old badmins on your server.

..you realize he's right.

If I was going to falsely realize he was right I would've done so. I said unedited, thank you. Meaning obviously necessary adjustments had been made to the one's who's hosts are successful. I know Crown had it in his great CityRPG and it worked greatly, think it was edited, may have not been though. I have a type of ticket system, and mine bans for a longer time. If the server wants the guy out, troll or not, they propose a votekick with a good reason, if the reason is invalid, it will be stopped by a moderator. he will be out until he contacts one of my moderators and successfully appeals his ban, in my servers I try to have a mod on at all times.

of course they could just wait the ban time out, but that would be boring.

If you have moderators on your server already you don't need votekick, and if you don't have moderators then votekick will be abused.

thanks but votekick is disabled when staff is offline

i have votekick because some conflicts arise between players, and if its a mass of players its between directed to a single guy, may as well get him out.

hypothetical scenario 1: new guy comes in and everyone starts flaming him and proceed to votekick him
