Vote kick system!

[wow4]

Say someone is speed hacking and there are no GMs online your a player who see that person hacking

so this will add a command that any player can use .kickvote "player name" after a set number of people do that it will kick or ban the person for a set number of time

want to try to make this but need to know some things

Do you think this is a good idea?

Where would I start at?

Can this be done in a simple way?

I might need help from someone who know more about this part of the core

Thank you

Just for the record: if players hate someone, they will use this command on him too...

thats why you make it 5 or 10 reports needed from other accounts

idk on blizz realms they added the thing to vote to kick player from the group

maybe it should only kick the the reported player out of the BG or arena so they have to wait 15 mins to join a other one

well, if you think of a server with more than let's say 50 people, I am sure there often will be cases where 10 people agree to bully one player - and so this one would be kicked ..

and increasing the number also won't help, because most likely hackers won't hack in areas where everyone will see them

This would just be used to harass, you can increase votes needed to prevent harassment but that would be way too high to detect valid votes (As they will be used less)

You have a good idea but in practice... these folks are right, because the internet brings out the worst in people becvause they don't have to worry about reputation or responcebility because they are really anonymous....

I think this could be possible if the vote kick system takes into account total people online and 75% of those total have to agree to ban/kick hacker if theres not a gm online could be useful for a mass bug abuser or something.

I coded this once way back for Arcemu. Its quite easily actually. You just make an entry into a SQL database Give it a timestamp. Announce it to server that Player is vote kicked. and if x > 5 then kick nothing to it

Not everyone will see the person hacking so they'd have to trust players on their word, which can be exploited
