Should vote-to-dimiss remain anonymous?

Names are hidden to reduce the drama and if anyone is going to report someone for abuse of the votes, they'll just write up the whole party regardless because everyone had to have agreed in the first place.

And that doesn't have to be true since there can also be people who refused but it was not enough. And you can be sure that there are many people you would no longer dare to abuse the vote kick if they did know that they could risk to be banned for some time. Right now people abuse it because they know that those that got kicked won't know who it did. Also if someone gets harrassed because he tried to kick someone he can just blacklist him. Don't care that you can't blacklist cross server because if the vote kick fails and you get harrassed you can just try again with the reason of harrasment. If that still doesn't work you can just leave and you will have your peace.

the question is : why would it be a problem to live up to what you decided to do and deal with the consequences of said decision. if it rightly motivated, then why would you fear a problem ? if it isnt motivated well then be ready to be the one condamned ( so to speak) and chances are you should not have done it in the first place.

Anonimity has removed the notion of responsability of own actions, people that fear need to reassess themselves and learn that fear doesnt control you, is you that control fear or be ready for sore moments.

Just me though.....

Keep it anonymous. Particularly, I've had very toxic players who treat people like **** in ST. However, they come with their friends to make sure they can't be kicked. If you put who is voting to try and kick someone for a toxic attitude, you simply open it up to even more abuse - namely, that person turning around and kicking a player from the party who is getting insulted by a toxic player.

There is no issue with the current iteration of the vote kick system, save players abuse. Currently, there is no abuse to be found in making it anonymous. Players are free to initiate vote kicks, and they won't find themselves treated badly by people who que as a team.

Vote kicking should remain anonymous in my opinion. The purpose isn't to put people on the spot, because most of the time the kick was initiated for a justifiable reason. That's not to say there are trolls and griefers who don't vote kick innocent people, it's just that it's a far less likely circumstance. Showing who initiates vote kicks leads to more potential abuse, more GM calls and more headaches for all involved. There are some really weird people who will go out of their way to further grief a person, even if they aren't on the same server.
