A trusted person can now start a vote to kick a player.

The person starting the vote will not have their name appear in the announcement, but their reason will be displayed when the vote starts.

After a mod or guide has started a vote, then other players can vote to kick the person by typing:

/say vote kick <name>

Currently requires 5 votes and to reach that goal within 15 minutes to work.

This system allows only one vote from the same toon or IP, per 15 minutes, per person getting voted for.

Once a player is vote kicked, they will be immediately disconnected, a suspended for a total of 30 minutes.

This will allow the mods to get rid of troublesome players when I'm not around, and of course can be entertaining to vote for someone as well.

This system should be about 99% finished right now. I might later add feature to disconnect and suspend ALL characters linked to the one being voted so we wouldn't have to have redundant votes on all the alt boxes of a player.

Right now this only works if you do this from a new instance since the global_player.pl was uploaded after servers reboot today. After next reboot this feature will work from all zones.

So if you're giving those two ppl power to "start" the kick, why not give them the power to just kick them? You're walking 5 miles to get milk when it's already in the fridge.

[Maydaay]

yes, as i understand it Natedog and hate have the power to start the vote? and only them?

[Maydaay]

seems to me that if a vote gets started then someone is going to get the boot!

[Hunter]

So far Nate and Hate will have the power, but if I add more people then I probably won't announce their name unless they want to be publicly known.

I really do my best not to reboot server other than regular 6am EST scheduled reboot, but today I had several versions of the Vote Kick code in different zones and needed them to all be synced up. Server will be back up within a few minutes.

I've updated the Vote Kick code to disconnect and suspend ALL accounts linked to a Character's name by IP address. This way a multiboxer can't continue to troll ooc or whatever.

The suspensions will last for currently 3600 seconds (1 hour).

[Expletus]

Again, why the dog and pony show with the vote kick? If you're giving them the power to start, why not just give them the power to kick w/out the vote?

[Hunter]

Because I don't feel like giving anybody the power to permanently suspend or ban accounts.

Besides, this is an entertaining way to get rid of trolls.

Why you so worried? You going to troll?

[Chunka]

No, but the worry many have is that this will be abused. But your sandbox.

[Hunter]

If Nate or Hate abuse this without reason, then they will be revoked from using it.

Everything is logged.

[Expletus]

Entertaining... gotcha.....  

[hateborne]

Natedog....THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!

OFF with there heads off with there heads

[Raygan]

IT WORKS! I was first to get voted off!  WOOT!

[Tankdan]

There needs to be a vote no option. Heck  I can find 5 people that think a mass murderer is innocent, doesnt mean thats the popular consensus.

Anyone can find 5 people to answer to yellow text popping on screen.  How about seeing what the server actually thinks by tallying up the Yes and No votes like they do in Team Fortress 2.  If someone is spamming, then it gives 60 seconds for people to cast their vote and a certain percentage must vote Yes for them to be banned.

Basically my point is there is no point in asking 5 people outside of entertainment.  Doing a Yes and No would also be entertainment but itd be a lot more accurate than 5 people looking for amusement.

I havnt slept in 23 hours but u get my point
