Generic Improve vote-kicking on MP servers

The idea is to turn the "instant vote-kick into a "report" system for the session.

Example:

1. I see you wrecking.
2. I "flag" you by clicking a "report" icon next to your name on the leaderboard.
3. At the same time I can "report" other guys if I see them wrecking.
4. I can "report" each player just once during the whole session (which includes practice+qualy+race, or even more if possible).
5. If I leave the server, my report for you remains active until the end of the whole session.
6. Once I click "report" your "score" becomes 1 because I reported you.
7. When/if other players report you, your score increases: 2, 3, 4..
8. Of course the typical wrecker or the guy with anger management issues will in turn report other guys just to create a mess but it is the final score which matters. To solve this: only when at least 2-3 people have "reported" you your name will change color or a flag will appear next to your name.
9. The other players can see that you have a flag so they know you may be a wrecker.
10. Once your score reaches a fixed value, let's say 5 (but the server admins can decide), you are kicked until the end of the whole session.

 

Its another option, possibly someone could make a server side app. How would you give any info to general users about the system? even if it was official how would you notify general users about it? how would you stop groups of wreckers server trolls just going server to server and abuse the system.

I personally have no interest in a public kick vote system as I don't think it can or will ever work so even with that I wouldn't bother running it as there are better ways to keep the wreckers out of servers already.

Marty, sure Minorating is much better and it is automatic but on consoles they have no other ways at the moment unless Kunos decide to implement Minorating or some other blacklist system. And honestly the chance of a group of 5-6 wreckers who would love to get on a server together and spend their time doing this is very low (and they could do the same even now with the kick voting system), while the chance of a single wrecker taking a whole server hostage without anything you can do about it like now is sadly very high. I think the report system works better than the instant vote and that's the point of having it. You don't have to give any info to any user about the system, just put the "report" button beside the name and have a text popup that shows up when you hover on the button and says something like "report this player for wrecking", no need to say that he will be kicked when enough players report him. When A flag appears next to his name, have a text that appears when you hover and says "this player has been reported for wrecking" or similar.

 

How does the current kick vote system work? I can't recall seeing it? Only saw the skip and restart session options.

I say this on behalf of many other players who are tired and exhausted on the question of voting during a race. For example when you want to vote to skip or restart the current session. Or when you want to ban a very bad player. this type of voting often does not reach the target just because many do not know which key to press. it would be a very nice thing if the interface indicated this button. Unfortunately not everyone, especially the less experienced players, go to read the map of the keys of their controller. Second, it would be good if the session administrator's vote, ie the multiplayer room creator, had a higher weight.

 

You can take the donkey to the water but you can't force it to drink.

It's all there to make reasonable votings - yes and no can be mapped to the wheel and administrators can change the %.

The hint on which button to press is extra work for the dev side and I bet you: the donkey still won't drink.

It's the people who choose not to vote - simple as that.
