@beerlord You make fair points. But I disagree and I find it hard to believe people game ruin if they see you in the game under your "Beerlord" acc, since most know you are a admin. If you played under a smurf acc 100% of the time and saw how many times people refuse to kick people clearly trolling you would be surprised. I'm not saying it's very common, but it happens. And if the ppl are submitted on the forums for refusing to kick, the mods have to work overtime to figure out the enemy's perspective to see if they knew what was going on. (This never works, enemy team usually just plays stupid and refuses to kick unless it's blatantly obvious repeated feeding). I really disagree that the VK would be abused.
But let's say for example the VK was abused and it was just a new guy game ruining unintentionally. (Although I think this would be rare, because it still would require the entire rest of the team to make a collective decision to kick the accused game ruiner and risk being banned for abusing it)
So if it was abused, and a player who was just new was having a horrible game and not co-operating was kicked, even though that's abusive, wouldn't that be doing them a favor? It would mean they don't have to suffer in a game they are unintentionally ruining. And you don't receive a ban for being kicked from a game if I remember correctly.
They would have the past game where they were unintentionally ruining to learn what they could, and they can join the next game and have a fresh start with no ban since they were kicked. And if it truly was an abusive kick and they were co-operating then they can submit on the forums. (This would save new players a lot of headaches of having to play a game where for example they are 0-8-2 farming creeps for 45 mins, they can just get kicked and start a new game with no ban. And learn faster because they can take what they learned from the previous game)
And if they are kicked for throwing and it's obviously intentional then we can submit them on the forums after the game and the ban duration is decided there usually
Hope you can understand what i'm trying to say, this is assuming you don't get banned for being kicked which i'm pretty sure is the case. Bans usually have to be issued by admins themselves, and any obvious abuse or game ruin will be submitted on the forums after the game is over. But people are less likely to waste time submitting people if they can just kick the troll early and still have a fun game and at least have a chance to win
This would actually mean LESS work for the mods in the long run because these intentional game throwers who play dumb and refuse to co-operate aren't going to actually submit people for kicking them when they know deep down they ruined it on purpose and refused to co-operate. And vice versa.
Also I don't agree with the "they don't trust you" excuse. Since i have my clan mates who agree with me and have the same problems with the enemy team refusing to kick. I also go on new name accounts a lot and have the same problem.
I think we should give it a try for a week or so and see if it really is that badly abused then it can be reverted, but I honestly believe it would only help improve quality of games and prevent obvious game ruiners/I.P dodgers (the biggest problem on ent) from being able to repeatedly ruin without being kicked.
