Question to the Votekick system

Apathy_THC

Ello forumers

I recently play a lot of CF and I wondered like a few weeks earlier that the votekicksystem has been removed for a test or something. I thought this is the greatest idea ever since i havent seen a hac.ker in ages as well.
now it appears to be back and i only got kicked once which is ok as long as it doesnt happen 10-15 times a day I am happy. Now what has changed to the votekick system since lets say 2014 ? I dont think the playerbase just went mature like "lets not abuse the votekick system anymore ffs"
Would be glad to hear some answers.

Oh and real quick why does it say I joined in 1970 ? that doesnt make any sense to me lol

As for the changes to the kick vote....the biggest one that is probably blocking most people from getting kicked is that in non-team based modes such as FFA, MM, HM, HMX, Mutant vs Ghost, and ZMs 1-3 the kick vote is still disabled. It's only enabled during team based modes such as S&D, TDM, Ghost, etc etc. That means no more last minute kicks to the FFA Ace or the person scoring lots of points in Mutations and various other silly reasons. So if you normally play a non-team based mode...naturally you get kicked a lot less now still. If your normal games are Team based...then perhaps you've just gotten lucky since it's been re-instated, though personally I rarely had problems in team based games for the most part. (the times I have, it's been when i'm playing in the UK servers though I might add...some extra toxicness over there...either that or it's just so many more people and thus greater chances of running into a toxic group.)

the only other changes to it are that, supposedly you can't rejoin and get 2 more kick votes to keep trying to kick a single person. I've heard that aspect is working but i've also heard that's not working and that sometimes people still get more kick votes when rejoining....haven't tested myself as I rarely kick anyone.

And no....the player base hasn't matured. lol

As for why it says you joined in 1970...my guess is you have your forum profile settings so that it hides your Age and Date of Birth, so instead of just making that area blank it puts in a generic date which happens to be Dec 1969.
Edit: seems i'm incorrect about that lol. probably just a standard setting for anyone who joined the forums before a certain time if not ever. I know a few people have a different date shown...maybe they or a GM can enlighten us.

Thanks for the responses it seems like there hasnt been changed much.
rejoining for votekick worked back in the days as well iirc. How was the votekicksystem shut down for a certain peroid of time ? I think this would be the best solution since it really gets abused alot and i havent seen any ha.cker for years tbh.
