On this subject: would it actually be bannable to refuse the kick in this case? (which is what he claimed)

These 'caught in range ban' appeals normally need a list of all wc3 accounts you ever used to play on ENT (they should be validated with ENT, see first 2 options on https://entgaming.net/link/) as well as the maps you want to play here. For fastest resolution you should post them now and not wait fo...

This one?

Why is there an upper limit for the higher bot? Is it to force a stats-reset on players above 4k ELO, because they can't join any new games? Main problem is (as always :) ) the players understanding of the whole ELO system. It is meant to provide a skill indicator and not to be a "reward" ...

In my oppinion, lots of current pub problems are related to the ELO rating... Almost all games are very unbalanced, because players don't use ELO indicator to create balance. Instead, the more experienced players check !scores and join together on one side or leave if its already full. Mostly the ne...

Then my suggestion definitely stands... if everyone is responsible to react on a votekick, then it is a huge improvement to require the initiator to state his reason, since it is necessary anyway in the process. Otherwise you basically force an unnecessary reaction upon each player, when some troll ...

This should prevent a lot of confusion about validity of votekick attempts If you're unsure why to votekick, ask. If they don't respond or something then you're unlikely to get banned. Exactly... you are unlikely to get banned, but it's hard to have a safe way out as long as you can also be punishe...

Ok, I get the point, that 3-stage may be overly complicated and noone should get away with unjustified vote. Still I think, the initiator should have a higher responsibility - what do you think about the suggestion, that he is required to provide a reason in all chat? Since he (obviously should have...

I've been thinking about the votekick related rules and reading through some forum posts in this regard (mainly ban-requests and appeals). For me it appears to be a problem how the rules are currently enforced (at least for DotA, dunno about other map problems). Abusing votekick: Using !votekick to ...
