This is why one person - the reciever of the kick - does not get a vote. It makes it possible to say half the votes voted yes or no. It removes an artificial deadlock.
It doesn't remove an artificial deadlock, it creates an artificial majority when there really isn't one. If it took a majority, there could only be one majority. The way it runs now, there can be two different opposing views that are BOTH treated as being the majority. That's totally counter to the whole concept of what a majority is. There's no such thing as a deadlock in a vote that requires a majority. Either there is a majority or there isn't. Sometimes there isn't one, and that just means the vote didn't pass. Well... anywhere but here that is. Here, instead we just pretend the vote passed even though it didn't have a majority at all.

As opposed to now, when it's even worse. You can join with a friend and have total control to kick out whoever gets grouped with you for no reason except to grief them.
