Why have Vote Kick if it's almost entirely abused?

[AlexPayne]

The whole point behind kicking someone out is that you want to replace the troublesome member with someone who isn't a jerk ASAP. Using your idea, I could troll people and there would be nothing they could do about it unless they want to take a forced 5 minute or more break waiting for a new member to replace me.

You just mentioned a legit reason to kick someone. Which would be worth waiting 5 minutes to take care of it, in my opinion. However, waiting 5 minutes because "I don't like his gear" or "he's not a synced 50" or that kind of thing would not be worth it.
