Votekicking Should Be Added Back. (Opinion)

Attention: This Is Only My Opinion. Also, All Information Here Must Be Confirmed, I May Have Written Something Wrong, So Please Check, Do Not Take This As 100% True. Now, Enjoy The Article.

One Of The Biggest Problems In SVP Are The People That Break The Rules, In The Officers Team, The Abusers, And While The Modcall System And The Game Report System Where You Can Open A Ticket To Report Someone Breaking The Rules, Helps Deal With Those People. I Don’t Think That’s Enough. I Think The Votekick System Should Be Added Back, Of Course With Some Changes.
The Old Votekick System Could Be Used By Any DW+ Where You Could Choose A Player, Add A Reason For It, And Start A Votekick. Atleast This Is What I Remember From My 2021 Experience. The Reason It Got Removed Was Probally Because Of The Great Amount Of Votekick Abusers. Going Further To 2025, I Think This System Should Be Added Back, Of Course, Revamped. I Would Suggest That Only:

  • SI (That Are On Both Comms Servers)
  • CP+ (Chairperson+)

Should Be Able To Votekick. If SI Is Still Risky, I Would Keep The Same Way As Said Before But Only SI (That Are On Both Comms Servers And That Are CHR/EHR/OC Could Be Able To Votekick. (Of Course CP+ Too). Those Measures Would Probally End With The Votekicking Abusers Problem.
Some May Argue That The Modcall System And The Game Report Ticket System, In The Intel Server, Is Enough. I Would Say Not, Most Of The Tickets I Open Takes A Lot Of Time To Be Answered, And In That Time, The Abuser/Rule-Breaker Could Have Done A Lot Of Bad Stuff. And Even If You Call A Mod, Most Of Them Will Say For You To Open A Ticket If You Got Evidence And The Suspect Is Not Breaking Any Rules When They Arrive, Ending In The Same Problem. That’s Why I Think Bringing The Votekicking System Back Would Help.

While Adding This System Back Is Good (In My Opinion), I Think Every Votekick Should Be Followed By An Game Report Ticket, So The Rule-Breaker Gets Punished, Not Only By The Votekick, But By Moderators Too. Because Only Votekicking, Would Not Fix The Problem, It’s Only Changing The Problem To Another Server.

That’s It Basicaly, What I Think. (If You Want To Discuss, Feel Free!)

There is a reason why proper punishment regulation exists.

Votekicking may be brought back or not. It’s common for the tickets that doesn’t get any response nor takes time to be seen/acknowledged. However, if you are saying that votekicking shall be held by Superintendent and Chairperson+, it would cause more and more problems or atrocities e.g Chairperson+ Buyers** unless the ones that attain the rank is professional enough.

There is a reason of why in-game moderation exists. To pertain with the proper structure nor proper function of any punishment regulation that can be implemented with precision. Concurring that votekicking might be the biggest flaw as it is the useless feature if it’s brought back.

The departments that handle every abusers, every detrimental actions are the Stateview Game Administration and Stateview Support Agency. As long as they would do their own job nor the authorization. They can do a lot and to contribute.

This Could Be Fixed By Allowing Only SI+ And CP+ That Have CHR/EHR/OC Etc, Or Having Kinda Of A Licence To Votekick. If These Ranks/Department (In This Case: OC) Are Still Buyable, Then Just Don’t Sell Them. Let Players Gain Them Through Dedication. We Know The SVGA And The SV Support Agency Do A Lot Of Effort But Sometimes It Takes Too Much Time To Them To Respond, Maybe Because Of The Huge Number Of Rule-Breakers. Of Course Always Getting Evidence So When You Votekick, You Also Report The Abuser/Rule-Breaker. Explaining More The “Licence”, Users With That Licence Could Be Able To Votekick, And To Get It, You’ll Need To Pass An Application Or Be Choosen By An HR+ Or Something. Not That These Measures Would Fix 100% Of The Problem That Made Votekick Get Removed, But It Would Help A Lot. Basicaly The Reason Votekick Got Removed Is Because Of The SVGA And SV Support Agency Existing, (And Because Of The Votekicking Abusers) And That’s Why It’s Not Well Accepted The Idea Of Bringing It Back For Them. But Anyways. This Is Only My Opinion, Everyone Has One. Don’t Be Mad At Me. I Still Think SVGA And SV Support Agency Should Continue Existing…

I think the votemick should be replaced by an in-game report system pretty much anyone could use that would save a replay from the suspect which SA/GA/someone could view and check for abuse, that would cut the time it takes to report down pretty sure.

Would be quite some work of coding though

Yeah, that would be very good. But as you said, would need some coding.

Your concept of somewhat license can be significant. I think you’re discussing the features of SI and CP with the authorization of votekicking. However, this would still cause any of the false kickings nor wrongdoings.

The license you say or rather authorization can be strictly given depending on the user’s decency and activity.

Your conceptualization about license/authority is decent. However, as for the current happenings, votekicking cannot be brought back.

In my opinion it should be Warden+ that can votekick.

Make amount of votes needed, 3

I understand modcall exists and should probably be used instead of votekicking but if you’re votekicking someone its probably because no one has answered a modcall.

If someone is trolling or ruining the RP it can be a bit finnicky to sort these people out and it just wastes everyone’s time. Being able to vote kick is such a good feature for so many reasons. If its only W+ most of the time you’re getting people who aren’t just spamming votekick and you can still easily add cooldowns on to votekick.

Rather not.
