Soft ban

In quake3 if you chatfrag'ing there was softban for 5 games or something like that. I think it is great thing to have in springie. Its not ban, and votable by simple people. That would greatly discourage trolls to troll, because now after kick they need exaclty 1 second to rejoin and troll again. And we wouldnt need to be harsh(ban) either.

Do not agreed. Sometimes we just use /kick to kick a AFK, not reason to ban him from 5 games, if you want a ban make a new command like /ban5 or somethig.

Is fortaleza smoking crack?

!spec makes players spec.
!kick kicks players
!ban bans them.

What is hard to understand about that?

Also, has fortaleza been kicking players that should have been specced all along? lulz

If you thought that I mean kick = softban then... there should be !softban as votable option maybe pretier like !beNiceThanks PLAYERNAME or something like that.

This idea just gives normal players the ability to ban noobs from playing because they suck at ZK.
if you have a complaint about a player contact one of the ZK admins and they will make a decision

Can we add a minimum knowledge requirement along the system requirements for zk?

I would require ppls to speak some words english and add a redirect to a online curse :)

That would solve this problem!


!votesoftban Antelope for causing 5 useless posts
!vote 1

+1 for 5 minutes
5 minutes should be enough to avoid rejoining before !start

+1 for 30 minutes if you get softbananed 2 times within 30 minutes.

+1 for 2 hours if you get softbananed 3 times within 2 hours.

... to be continued ...

you would have the choice to NOT rejoin directly after 5 minutes to avoid being abuse-banned 2 times within this 30 minutes.

also you shouldn't be able to !softban the !boss - simple leave the server and go to another one ( unless some troll makes many accounts and block all springies with !boss trollaccount )

It's really annoying if you are boss, open a server for FFA and some ppls kick you to play TEAMvTEAM - even if the host description IS FFA.

worst case scenario is that we alienate 2 or 3 newbies because trolls get them soft banned rather then have them on their team.

If this softban required a great majority of votes, it'd be rather unlikely that trolls would be able to abuse it.

I think a time limit is clearer than next [insert number] games. Something like half an hour maybe?

This should be like on other mod autohosts, where is !kickban command. Of course kickban abuse appears, but not often.

If I wouldnt know you, Rick, I would believe you but when you vote 2 for exit when other team has 2 player less from ~2min game and say "just play" i dont believe you at all.
