Votekick Update

Votekick has been tweaked to try and reduce abuse of the feature.

Any player can initiate a votekick, however, now only players on the same team as the player subject to a kick vote can vote on whether they should be removed from the game or not. This should still allow players who are griefing their team mates or obviously abusing a glitch to be kicked whilst making it harder for players who are simply good at the game to be booted out.

• The function keys for voting yes or no have been changed. F1 is now "No" and F2 "Yes".
• The host of a custom game can kick any player from their game. However, this only applies to the original host for the game, if that host leaves this privilege will be lost!
• The host of a custom match cannot be targeted to be kicked from the match.
• In VIP mode if the VIP is kicked, for any reason, another VIP should be selected from the remaining members of their team.

Known Issues

• Server Auto balancing Over-rules Custom Match Settings
• Several functionality issues with the new Votekick system

As much as I don't like Jagex, that is a bloody brilliant idea.

Except they lifted it off of Star Wars Battlefront 2.

Because Star Wars Battlefront 2 was online and had votekick.
