FK's unpure Spearhead?, FK may turn off sv_pure on certain days! Options

[L.B.]

When I was in the server today FK stated he was thinking about having non-pure server days to get some fresh meat into the grinder. He stated that there were just not enough players able to get in. I personally would love for more people to play on the server, it can get boring waiting for a few buddies to log on and play just when you have the yearning for a blood bath! Only one concern though... some of the .pk3 hacks would still get through. So my question to FK and all of you is:

**Since there is no sv_pure running, ((could(should?)) we have a way to vote on a kick of a player?**

Just a thought. I mean it is a majority ruling, so it would not be prejiduced. Most of us "talk" to each other in game as-is, and are pretty friendly so I am sure it would not get out of hand. Keep in mind I am not suggesting voting on anything else like maps, etc. That would just ruin it.

That was pretty much the only thing that concerned me. When I had my own MOHAA clansite, I had a page we called "Cheaters Corner". It was screenshots of obvious cheats, i.e. aiming through walls. But the only thing that kept them out was an autokicker. Worked as long as they kept the same IP or name.

In Spearhead you can vote to kick a player (duh, right?). If that player cheats repeatedly and keeps getting kicked by the players he/she is cheating against, it may stop them from cheating. Or at least keep them from coming onto the server again, thinking they will keep getting kicked for it.

What do you all think?

I don't know if that's such a good idea. I've seen voting get abused pretty badly on other servers, and I don't see why this server would be any different. Particularly the way we seem to have a few folks who get downright pissed when people don't play the way they feel they should.

It's not a far jump for the people that complain constantly and loudly because somebody is playing a different style, and them abusing the voting privilege. While the person may not get voted off, the next thing that'll be happening is "spam voting" because somebody's camping, and it ticked somebody off. What could be worse, though, is that maybe somebody could get voted off, and they weren't cheating.
