not allow multiple !votekicks

[VirusHunter]

my suggestion is to not allow 1 person to make more than 2 !votekick <name> in a single game. this is to avoid game ruiners like feednoob or ifeednoob or w/e he changes his name too. he picks furion mostly and teles to base to feed but he'll use !votekick on one of his allies to avoid being votekicked several times. usually gets to feed 3-5 times before someone gets a !votekick in with the right violator. and hes an IP dodger so he doesnt care.

What about limiting it to one votekick per person every 5 minutes? So once player A initiates a votekick, he won't be able to do it again for 5 minutes. Note, however, that other players can initiate VKs as long as they haven't initiated in the past 5 minutes.

This would certainly cut down on spam and abuse -- not to mention prevent game ruiners from avoiding being kicked by spamming the command.

yeah that would probably be more effective. this way its not a 2 and done deal. just a "timeout" per say. but yes i agree it would definitely cut down on spamming vk/abuse.

Sometimes the first votekick doesn't go through because players don't vote even if it's legitimate. For example: AFK'ers, game ruiners. Could be problem if it's a small team.

could easily have another one of your team !votekick if it doesnt pass the first time. and in dota usually there is 5 players - the one who is violating the rules and - the first initiator still leaves you with 3 very capable people of typing !votekick.

How about 2 per player per 5 minutes, then?

Why not just once per two minutes, so you have to wait a minute after you votekick.

[VirusHunter]

that could work too. anything that would stop a game ruiner from constantly votekicking someone to dodge being Votekicked would be cool with me.

You drive a hard bargain, @uakf.b
