That would only work if the players abusing the feature first told the player they're going to kick that they're kicking them to get a friend in. If it's just a kick without explanation, the only player who would report it has nothing useful to report. Just saying "I got kicked and don't know why" won't get any action from the GMs. (Which is why it already gets abused so much. There's really no enforcement of the supposed "reasons" for kicking.)

I like Cinno's idea, though. Excluding this invite option after a kick but allowing it after someone leaves or disconnects would be useful at least a lot of times (if not always) and wouldn't be nearly as exploitable.
