Vote Kick Feature - Info in OP 04 26, 2011 /08:48
Hi guys,
So as previously noted in the patch details, the 1.4 patch includes a vote kick function however there seems to be a bit of confusion as to what this entails exactly. The vote kicking function operates via console commands. It's not a HUD/GUI type setup.
How to initiate a kick:
• Open your console with (~) or (`) key by default.
• Type in votekick playername (where playername is the name of the player you wish to kick) and press enter.
• You can also hit TAB to complete a sentence, so type the first few letters of the players name then hit TAB.
• A message will appear on screen: "Vote to kick playername initiated"
How to vote:
• Open your console with (~) or (`) key by default.
• Type in vote and press enter.
• You don't need to use vote yes or vote 1.
• In order to vote no, simply don't vote at all.
Information:
• Required Votes for successful kick - 51%
• Default timeout for kicked user is 10 minutes. You will not be able to rejoin the same server in that time.
• 3 minute cooldown before user can call another vote if unsuccessful.
Please let us know if you have any difficulties with the vote kicking system or suggestions on how it could be improved!
Thanks!
