if you've ever played crossfire you know this is a bad thing, edit: most of the time anyway

 

But how many games which had the availability of an kick button did you play in which it did not got abused.

 

If X of Y people have to agree to kick somebody I still believe that the majority of people will actually think before just voting yes or no. 

 

Only on Enemy Territory kick got a little abused by low level people kicking high level players. But joining better servers fixed that :).

I have an idea!  Anyone who is a griefer will be put into a server with other griefers.  They can only fight each other and cannot return to the regular matchmaking.

Vote To Kick can work, but it has to be managed carefully.

 

There was a process for this implemented in another game I played a few years back that actually worked and couldn't really be abused with out a massive pre-coordinated effort (which is not possible without voice chat).

 

Here's how it worked:

  • A player could initiate a V2K from their in-game menu (this player could be from either team).
  •  
  • Players on the same team as the player having a V2K issued against them, would have a small message appear on the lower left of the screen asking them to push a specific button if they wanted to agree to kicking that player.  (If they don't want to vote for a kick, they just don't press the button)
  •  
  • The vote would not pass until all of the defending players teammates had voted "yes" and there was a countdown (next to that V2K message on the lower left) showing how many players were still needed to approve the kick.  (ie: 2 more yes votes required to kick "Player X" - press F8 to vote to kick "Player X")
  •  
  • Once a V2K had been initiated, no other player could initiate a vote on the same player for the rest of the match.

 

So, with only the offending players own team being allowed to vote against him and a unanimous vote required, abuse was not really possible and a player had to be offensive enough to his own team to be kicked.  It also didn't impede on anyone's game experience by requiring them to go to a menu to cast a vote after it had been initiated.

 

Is it perfect?  No.  You could certainly have a team who decides to keep their aimbotter or griefer on-board because they would rather win than win honorably... but that's online video games.

 

EDIT: The only other abuse of this system was when a whole team of players would kick the lowest scoring person on their team.  Again though, that took a coordinated effort and a whole team of real f'in jerks.

To be serious for a moment this is just a joke
