Should vote-to-dimiss remain anonymous?

[Sove92]

I think they should either remove vote dismiss or make it possible to see who startet it and who voted in what way.

Can agree with keeping it transparent, but the vote kick must stay. I don't want to see the 2.0 leeching days ever again. Removing it would just lead to insufferable consequences.

The whole point behind this is to prevent people harassing the person(s) that initiated the kick. Last year, I once left a duty because my party sucked really hard and I didn't want to deal with it anymore (this was way before vote kick even existed!) and one of them decided to harass me via tell. I'm sure the GMs don't want to deal with sky rocketing harassment reports, real or fake, if vote kick annonomy was removed.

No, it should remain anonymous, both the identity of the initiator and the votes of the party. I don't want to be the target of verbal abuse from people I have started the vote to kick over the verbal abuse they've heaped on other players. The result of the vote to kick or abandon reflects the party sentiment, not just the person who initiated it. Anyway, even if you had the identity of the person who initiated, you cannot prove it was harassment without something in the chat logs.

I kick people who are stupid, I don't care if they know I think they're stupid.

You -are- aware this game has a delightful little mechanism called the blacklist, right?

So the initiator can be verbally abused? No thanks. There's already the flood of "Go kill your self instead of staying" when someone initiates

you cant blacklist cross server.

[Brine_Gildchaff]

you cant blacklist cross server.

You also can't send /tell cross-server, which is the problem the person I was quoting was bringing up.

[AdamFyi]

you cant blacklist cross server.

And you can't send tells cross server either. Besides, the chances of meeting the same people through DF are pretty slim.

Edit; Ah, ninja'd. xD

I don't see any reason why it should remain anonymous. Fewer vote kicks would happen if it were transparent, because you would need to really have a reason to vote kick someone. The argument that "I don't want to be harassed" for initiating a vote kick when you are already being harassed to the point you felt a kick was necessary is a poor one.

This would help people learn to use the tool at times when it actually needs to be used instead of just willy-nilly. It should be transparent ESPECIALLY if SE is instructing their GMs that they cannot do anything unless they know who initiated the vote kick. I mean, talk about putting in a system and then giving yourself a way out of enforcing anything by keeping information out of the reporter's hands.
