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

[Sakuraluna]

See the thing is, as a fairly new player I tend to read your dialogue as rude and condescending, especially given that from my experiences people who have typically used that kind of sarcasm actually meant to be outright rude toward me and other new players. So I'm tempted to say that their "harrassment" vote was legit from their point of view. I get that you were only trying to help, sorry that had to happen to you, but for future reference you might want to curb the sarcasm since people don't always translate text the way you meant it, they might be reading it completely differently. Just remember that new players running the dungeons for the first time (especially tanks and healers) already get bombarded with toxic behavior in df so to them your sarcasm is probably the last straw even if you just meant it as humor.

I think that the vote-kick system is actually very useful in the cases that it's used properly, I wouldn't want to get rid of it. I've only seen it misused maybe once in the time that I've been playing. And I can pretty much count on one hand the amount of times I've seen it used in the first place.
