That's actually a very good compromise in my opinion and will offer instant relief as well as still offer the same intended result of having vote kick enabled.

The main purpose of the vote kick is to kick AFK's. The people that suffer the most from an AFK are the players on their team, not the opposite team. So, by making it a team vote kick option only, this allows the team to manage their own AFK's and require alot less votes to do so. The biggest benefit is that it reduces trolls on the opposite team from vote kicking anybody they want by 50% immediately. I had so many vote kicks initiated against me today, more so when I started to get a lot of kills as usual and people get mad and do the vote kick without any reason.

I am convinced that most of the people that voted "yes" to enable vote kick did so with nefarious intent knowing they could use it to troll in game and cause more drama.
It only speaks to your character.
I played a round myself and had a standard 50-15 round with homie recording from spectate in Rec Hue, not one vote to kick me.
Maybe its your approach. I can literally join at anytime and not have a vote kick against me. idk. The mask only lasts for so long.

LOL. Try playing regularly on a weekend using names people actually know you by and let’s reevaluate that statement. Rick, dtk, myself, orange, etc all getting vote kicked constantly.

No matter how strange it may sound, but I agree with TKO_Flight447 here. No one is happy when you get shoted at and you have no way to respond, now I've started to understand this when I see players just walking away or not even saying "hi" to you. Not even on our servers, when I connect to 3-4 players playing, they leave after a couple of minutes, after catching my rockets from helicopter.
To be honest, it’s strange for me to see a lot of players who play online much more time than me, but they get offended and even call you a cheater.
and there’s nothing you can do about it, it’s human nature.

Before I get banned here again (aahahah), I will offer an option that could be some solution. I've been playing for the last few days, like everyone else, I'm annoyed by the abuse and the endless launch of kick voting. Although I think I know who does it. but that’s not about that now. So what is the main reason for a player to kick? when someone is afk, his team suffers from a lack of strength. Actually, thanks to this, this proposal was created - to kick this player using voting, BUT all players vote, and the game gives us the opportunity to conduct a team vote to kick, that is, the team that is directly interested in this will have this opportunity without the participation of the enemy team

RESULT:

- Abuse will be reduced by 50%
- Only suffering team will vote
- Half of the players won't see the vote

P.S. i never use it, but it should work like i say. i think)

bright thought, I suggested this a long time ago, but I became an outcast
Solid idea Drake, that would largely fix it. 👏
The Trolls would have to be pretty dedicated to switch teams just to abuse a single target, risking revealing themselves as the troll and being counter kicked by fewer players. It would work as an effective deterrent.
I'd Still say more admin or moderators would be better, if you're running a Zoo, it's better to have a human Zoo Keeper than handing out cattle-prods to the monkeys 😉

I've just tried the vote kick (team) feature on a test server to confirm my suspicions that it does in fact not just kick but also ban for an extended period of time the player who gets voted off. After calling a team kick-vote on myself, I kept on trying to rejoin and as it turns out I was in fact still banned after an hour (!) at which point I decided to call it quits. It's not too far-fetched to assume the ban handed out upon such a kick may even be several hours in length.

It goes without saying that this does not speak in favour of what may otherwise have been a well-founded and sound idea.
