To me that all sounds like Big Brother forcing people to do what the elite few who run the thing decide. Such things rarely stop at the few idiots such systems were designed to block. Anytime someone is given any kind of policing abilities on the internet, be it a chat room op or a server op you run into little Napoleons all over the place telling people what to do; and kicking and banning people for no other reason then because they want to. Someone then speaks out against the abuse of power and they are kicked and banned too. There was already someone on a MOHAA server kicking people who were taking their time and sneaking around the Hunt toward the end of matches because the host was bored and wanted the game to end then and there.

Boring and unfair all the way around.

Would be much easier to just have MP set up that if you kill a team member, even by accident, you are charged with one negative kill. Someone is automaticlly kicked the moment they fall to -4 kills or something like that. This would weed out the team killers and also the idiots who don't know how to handle their own grendades or fire bazookas in hallways full of their teammmates.

Perhaps someone can set it up that a player is banned after being kicked three times. But one would have to be careful since there are so many names that are the same even though the players are different, and sometimes players are kicked by group vote for no real justifiable reason. Mob rule may be OK when kicking is relatively harmless, but when it may lead to perminant bands it is probably not the best way to judge something like that.

It IS too bad that friendly fire is so often abused by 10 year old brats (or those whose personalities have never progressed past that point.) Once there is the basic vote to kick in place that will clear up a lot of that.

Maybe that is all that is needed, but it would be nice if the kick lasted for 24 hours or something like that to keep them from going right back in.

Also, not all team killers are malicious. Some are just kids who have not figured it out yet. It is very easy to forget that you too were new at such games once, and even easier for people to turn on those who less capable then themselves, I guess in an effort to feel superior.
