Since Votekick and Voteban have been deestablished, i have noticed the amount of people breaking the rules have gone up. Asd much as many people wish it could be so, admins can't be on every server 24/7. We have to give the players some power to end rule-breaking in cases where an admin can't be contacted.

What do you think the player complaint section is for?

Which is the two of lesser evils?

We all know that a admin cannot be on 24/7. But theres always a admin whenever there's alot of people in the server.

I'd rather keep voteban and votekick out. Because it can be abused by a group of people. So no.

Keep it off.

It's been discussed before.

As a side note I find it sad that very few regs or "members" even know how to take a demo.

How many HG's come to the chatbox and cry for an admin? Also there are some good regs id say 5-8 at most and thats out of a whole bunch. And guess how many HG's ive had to instruct on how to take a demo? The rare times when someone does actually do andthing bad in the servers i play on i do submit a demo. Go check for yourself :D

Edit: And only three sucessful ones from you LOL

Imagine a half empty Dust Server and suddenly you have a 8 man clan joining and starts votebanning people to have the server for themselves and no one admin is online.

So, Demo them if they break the rules, because in general, an admin would ban someone for 5 minutes for rulebreaking, but if you get prove and upload it you can get a much longer ban for them.

ok, most of the time a admin like fail Arrow is on.
Ask a admin b/c vk and vb are spamming tools.
let the admins do the work

Voteban never really worked out.
There were always those AFKs, or those stupid enough not to type "voteban" and find their name.
If it is put back in, the amount taken to ban someone should be greatly decreased.

and it will never work, thats why you need to add a admin to steam friends

It's stupid and everyone would be banned from the servers. Thus leading to much more Crying and bitching. So why even do it it would fuck everything up.

If people are abusing it, couldn't you simply take a screenshot and post a ban request?
"omg ban him i dunt liek hem"

But you don't understand ppl would constantly abuse it banning anyone they want to and that leads to other ppl being morons and following them. Then half of our players will be banned from our servers.

It was removed for that purpose. If you have problems with people you record a demo by typing
EX: "record freekiller" in consle and type "status" and take a screenshot of their steam id. They will get banned if you post a complaint. It's simple as that.

Voteban would be a bad idea, just demo.

Votekick would actually be pretty good. I'm not going to demo someone for being afk or extending a round but a kick would be a good resolution.

I wouldn't be so cocky about being an HG considering that it's just something you get after being regged for X months and having over 400 posts.

I'm not complaining about a player, i'm just saying that we should have it for when admins can't be accessed.

That has never happened while I'm around...
People were stupid enough not to ban HACKERS or GLITCHERS, let alone "LOL, LETS RANDOMLY BAN THIS GUY!"

We SHOULD have votekick back, though. If people are abusing it, and SOMEHOW get enough to actually kick you, you could easily get an admin to come in.

As said before it has been discussed before and does not requir to be changed, what you do is take a demo and get there steam id and once you do that you upload to the forum with the steam id, simple as that and there gone, also if a member or a regular doesnt know how to take a demo just type demo and the persons name in consol (demo mr.blahblah), then type status in consol and find there name and copy it and then upload to forums. The votekick and voteban was WAY abused i remeber a year ago 4 people got votebanned because a group of people didnt like them. It was way to abused and should not come back. Enough said

I think more effective solution than anything would be some sort of report function that pings vent for the admins or something.

Take and add a couple of admins to your friends list, if you have problem with demo. Most generally if they are there, and not busy, they will come to server.

Dante
14 Apr 2009, 09:36pm
And to record Demos its


EX: In consle type "record freekiller" and then when your finished with the demo type "stop"

it's easy. But for the demos you must also have a screenshot or the steam id within the demo itself. But to take a screenshot press "F5" and also make sure it's under that key or whatever key you want.

Yea... we need a better HG system , but more about that in another thread.


We can't get voteban and votekick back on the server because there are A LOT of immature people on the servers who abuse it. Just take a demo and for people who don't know how , read this : http://www.steamgamers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2975

He is right. On some servers some group of immature players can decide to voteban someone just for the fun. I agree with Silent. And also if the player claims that he hasnt done anything wrong with the demo/screenshot we can look back in what actually happened.

voteban was always abused by players. if someone is just afk people voteban them it was ridiculous

I can see why some wouldnt want voteban on the servers, but votekick would be nice when a admin isnt around and no one reports a person for (most likely) mic spamming since thats the most annoying thing that happens 90% of the time. So bring it back for the sake of good gameplay when admin isnt around! :P
