So votekick >abuse< is practically allowed?

[Aylis]

They say it's punishable but I've never seen them act on it. That's the confusion.

Honestly at this point I believe they don't and never will. If for every person that was vote kicked for whatever reason submitted a petition. That would be a lot of petitions going through daily. If it were me sitting there and having to sort out which is considered griefing, what isn't griefing, who's innocent, who's trolling, was it the players fault or the parties fault. I'd eventually give up reading petitions over vote kicking too.

.... I'd eventually give up reading petitions....

Imagine all the cops took an attitude like that, criminals would run free. You may not care, but do NOT mistake it for SE or the GMs not caring. They do what they can given their human limitations. They will not show you what they do other than their periodic ban wave announcements. In addition to protecting individual privacy/confidentiality, it makes sense, so players don't get to try to game the GMs and use them to troll other players causing even more problems.

You really don't watch much of the news do you? lol

ANYWAY fine, I'll bite.

It doesn't take much effort to you know? look around and see things. The same complaints going on over and over over and nothing is changing. Players getting kicked for refusing to skip cut scenes, players getting kicked because they don't wish to speed run, players getting kicked because their rotations ain't up to par to the group. Who's trolling, who isn't trolling. Oh no this small party early pulled an A rank hunt mob and this other party reset it, blah blah blah and every petition under the sun.

If players were civil
If players just met in the middle.
If players didn't troll.
If players would listen and not get defensive over advice.

Then this all wouldn't be a problem now would it? The fact its STILL going on raises questions don't cha think? Maybe that old ban hammer isn't as heavy as people may think. Its not a question of if I care, its a question of how many complaints of stolen sweet rolls the GM's can tolerate.

The community is why we can't have nice things.
