    Getting kicked from duty should not automatically come with a penalty. Some kicks are hardly warranted while still not considered "Vote Kick abuse" - people often get kicked for the silliest things.

    However, perhaps something like the daily 3 strike rule on withdrawing from duty could apply to vote kicks. If you get yourself vote kicked more than 3 times in a day, every vote kick after that incurs a 30-60 minute signup penalty until the day's over.

Sometimes they just keep talking but most of the time the jail time trap in a dungeon is more than the penalty for leaving so I'm satify either way.
    The "whatever the reason" part is something I strongly disagree with. Sometimes people have legitimate reasons for requesting a vote kick, and when someone has a legitimate reason, it'd be common courtesy to grant their request.

    If someone's being a jerk, of course, I totally support your "jailing" strategy. We once had a tank who refused to do his job because the healer accidentally pulled an extra mob once.
    He told us to votekick him because he'll get a 5 second queue as a tank anyway, or finish the dungeon on our own while he stands there to get a free clear. We cleared the dungeon up to the last boss, and then we just sat down and waited.
    That tank actually decided to wait around until the last 10 minutes of duty. We kicked him then and finished the dungeon with just the three of us.

    What's so mind boggling about it, is that he had no reason or incentive to act the way he did. He was being a jerk for being a jerk's sake. He wasted his own time and ours, instead of just doing his job and finishing the dungeon alongside us.
