another vote?

(Red|Cell) #1

now i know refs have the ability to do this but i was wondering if there was a way to add a vote to etpro so that ppl can vote for some1 to go spec?

the reason why i think it would be a good idea is so that if ppl get a 999 ping u can vote to make him go spec instead of just kicking him straight away cos i know that a lot of ppl do get probs with there internet and a lot of the time given a few mins or so there alrite again (and normally by that time they have been kicked) also for ppl who go afk especially if they have a high xp because ppl wont kick them because they think they are too good to lose or that they think they are still playing and im just trying to get rid of them :wink: so having the vote to make them go spec would be a lot better then just trying to kick them especially if they are just about to come back. (now u can breathe)

Would like to see if this could be done myself as well. Often get that problem, and its annoying when you get people trying to kick players that you know are regulars on a server or are dl’ing new maps etc.

I think it would be better to give them a straight kick - without the 5min tempban. Often the 999 pingers have actually left (crashed out of) the server, and if you try to rejoin while scoresheet says your there with 999ping, sometimes PB will kick you for duplicate name or guid, esp. if you take the oppertunity to reconnect while youre at it, so you have to wait until the server decides you have timed out before rejoining.

I think there was a thread suggesting this on the etpro forum.

It would be useful for people who go get food / whatever and just leave themselves in the middle of a game. Their connection is fine they just have bad habits and dont use spectator mode. Does my head in and I agree a ‘make spec’ vote would be useful.

sometimes there’s someone at the door and u haven’t got time to go spec (but in clan matches they soon miss me and pause the game :wink: )
