I thank you very much for adding the option of vote kicking to the game Crytek much needed. I would like to ask for some slight modifications to how it works if I may.

1.) Please put a small prompt to let people know they can press F1 to vote yes on vote kicking the person being kicked, press F2(or do nothing) to decline the vote. Something like

Vote to kick PlayerXYZ?
F1 - Yes
F2 - No

2.) Please prompt for reason when a vote kick is initiated. That way the person initiating the vote kick can explain the reason for the kick. I have to ask this question almost every time a kick is initiated

3.) Please make it so that the automated tools hackers are using to lock other users out of being able to vote kick them can be overcome. As it stands currently hackers can use automated tools to lockout a vote kick, by initiating a vote kick themselves. One hacker is bad enough with these tools let alone when more than one joins the server. The cool off period is three minutes...more than enough time for a hacker to run rampant on the server and ruin a round at a time. I would suggest something like if 1/3 of the server population(if 1/3 is greater than 1) or 2 or more players attempt to initiate a vote kick against a player even during a cool off period that player is kicked.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and good luck, have fun:)

Agree... And the vote kick should be more visible! New players don't see it at all!

server admin can set the proportions necessary for kick

When I'm talking about that here I'm talking about overriding the kick vote cooling off or lock out period where a new kick vote cannot be initiated while a kick vote is ongoing and 3 mins afterwards to the initiator of an unsuccessful vote at least according to this

Some hackers are using a tool which allows them to automatically initiate a kick vote. Also due to the way this currently works its hard to get players to vote out even the most obvious of hackers even when telling everyone to press F1 over VOIP and typing "press F1 to vote to kick the hacker out" which then results in the kick initiator being unable to try to kick again for 3 mins. So then your left with trying to explain to people how to initiate a kick vote against said hacker. My point being that currently the system is not very user friendly especially if they don't read through these forums very often:)
