Title: I suggest a decrease in Vote Kick percentage required (maybe to 50% ?)
Post by: Colk on February 24, 2009, 07:14:06 PM

Hello Everyone at the server, thanks for doing a great job

Now I'm pretty sure that this is something that a lot of my fellow regulars on the server will probably agree with. When the admins are around they do a great job of policing our server of cheaters so all us racers can race fairly as the vast majority of us wish to. However, when there are no admins about the server can be a bit of a nightmare. I think the current vote-kick percentage required is a tad too high.

What happens at the moment if a cheater appears ingame is that everyone tries calling the admins. If this fails, after a while the people who know how to votekick will use the votekick command. If not enough votes are cast, we will ask people using the chat function to please vote-kick the cheater. If the people who havent voted dont know how to use the chat function, or dont understand english, or whatever, then everyone is stuck with the cheater. This can be really frustrating as there is no choice but to leave after a while of being cheated.  I'm sure this must actually put people off of joining the server in the first place, as its annoying to be stuck with a cheater. Also this probably attracts hackers as well if they know its so hard to get kicked when no admins are there.

Thanks for listening I hope my suggestion can be implemented in some way

This is good, but don't forget that this is just a kick: the cheater can re-join in seconds! So all of this is for nothing. It should be a temporary ban!

Well I think we need more admins; right now only Cygnus is active.
The others are either on vista or inactive.

Good idea about lowering limit for votekick. Also good idea about making it tempban to make votekick actually effective. I'll ask the other admins what they think and see if we can find a solution.

btw: you guys can give MC some banning rights: he is often online and thus can improve cheater cleaning ;)

Good idea pro2c, I didnt realise kicks were temporary - thought they were time limited. So your idea of a kick ban sounds perfect. Maybe an hour, or two hour kick ban?

And thanks raz0, I hope we can find a solution too. Cheers!
