Vote kick feature

[Jum_P]

Recently, quite often there are AFK players, which often changes the balance quite strongly to the side of this or that team, especially considering the very small number of players at the present time. Also, AFK players do not participate in map voting (i.e., they actually vote against), which also prevents the remaining players from changing the map. For example, on this weekend there were frequent situations of 2 AFK players in a team, plus it happened that such a team had 1 player less, which already created an imbalance of 3 players (4 vs. 7, for example), on Reclaiming Hue, if I'm not mistaken, also a few failed votes for the various map, which lacked 1 vote. Therefore, I propose to include a vote kick and a regular one, in case there are many AFKs in one team and it’s impossible to vote only by this team, and you have to resort to the help of players from the other team.

Jum, I would be in favor of the vote-kick if the admins could easily determine if any player abuses the system. In other words, they repeatedly vote to kick someone who is in the game and not causing problems. Vote kick can be easily abused and I think we all know it was "back in the day." I hope there is a way for the admins to determine who initiates repeated votes then whack them for it.

Abuse could be reported like any other rule break and if the logs don't tell then screenshots or a small videos could do the job as evidence.

Its a good idea but I don't have enough active admins to make sure it isn't abused. If I did have enough then AFKs would be kicked and we wouldn't find ourselves discussing it here.

Rambo, I know of no way, as a player, to determine who is starting vote kicks. Back in the day, I would start vote kicks to get myself kicked and I would encourage players to vote yes. Just for hists and giggles. Bored - have some fun.

From what I have seen lately, the only admins I have seen playing are Vmax and NME. Granted, I have not played much because when I check the server, it is empty so I don't get on.

Ah yes I forgot that compared to RS2, there's no indication in BFV about who started the vote..

Granted, I have not played much because when I check the server, it is empty so I don't get on. Maybe we need to turn on bots for a game or 2 when the numbers are low or 0 , I have asked players in the past ( we need bots ? ) There reply was, Yes we do ! I'm not saying leave it on 24/7 but allow the admin to turn it on from time to time as it is needed, At the end of that round , the game Automatically goes back to regular play . I have done this in the past and notice that players come on and stay, But I was told I could no longer do this , Did Ice not tell the admins that we could have more control over the game to help keep the game in play ! Maybe it should be up to the players when there is few on whether they would want to play with Bots until others came 2 play , Do this only when an Admin is present on the game ! (not to make a voting app on it ) Players go AFK because they're waiting on more players to join the game or there is not enough players for that particular map ! Maybe it is time to change ! JUST A SUGGESTION ! WOOF WOOF Regards WARDOG/Ray
