Im reposting my idea as its own thread here, mainly cuz its too easily lost in the many other posts in my other thread - http://forum.z8games.com/showthread.php?t=1943&page=20

My original idea consists of allowing very high ranked players ( Second Lieutenant for example ) and higher, the ability to be non kickable room hosts & perhaps also give them even more power such as being able to kick anyone in the room that they see fit to. And allow them a maximum of say 3-5 kicks per game, as really there shouldnt very often be a need for more kicks then that.

Now of course this will be a 2 way street, for all you nay-sayers out there, youre right, there will be punks & morons that would abuse this type of system, thats why we incorporate a ranking & voting system that all the other players in the room can use to vote on whether they feel the room host is kicking others fairly or not. There would be a system where others can vote whether it was a good kick or an unfair one.

This room host would accumulate these scores from other players ( negative & positive scores ) as part of their permanent record. This record being clearly viewable by all other players & being indicated next to their name while in the room before games starts & also during the game itself.

Any time during the game where a room host kicks another player out, a vote screen could pop up for all the other players giving them the option to vote in favor of the room hosts kick, or against. Meaning whether they thought the kick was fair & justified, or unfair & unjustified. These votes could either all be tallied up individually & made part of the room hosts permanent record or say if the majority of voters either agree or disagree, maybe 70% or higher sounds good, positively or negatively, one individual mark could be counted on their record reflecting this.

This score would accumulate ( positive & negative scores ) on the room hosts permanent record & would be presented in a way that all other players could see this score before joining the room hosts game. This way other players would have a good idea whether theyd be joining into a quality room or not. This scoring system would also help to keep the room hosts in check & give them incentive to be fair & not abuse this power for the following reason...

Not only will a high negative score keep most other players away from the room hosts room, but we also make it so that if any unkickable room hosts accumulates too many negative votes that their special status be suspended for a certain length of time, for example one week for the first time, one month for the second time and perhaps even permanently taken away if it happens too much & their negative score remains too outstanding too consistently & for too long.

This would be the perfect system to sort out the bad apples from the good ones. To separate those that would use the system wisely, & those that would abuse it. As many immature, irresponsible & moronic players as there are here in CF, there are also a number of good, honest, decent & fair minded players as well, Im one of them & there are plenty other people that play this game that would fill this role nicely, Im sure.

And as far as these players using any kind of hacks or glitches, this wouldnt present a problem either for several reasons...

Think about it, how many people want to take alllll the time it takes to level up their account to the rank of Second Lieutenant ( which takes a very long time ) or higher & risk having their account banned or suspended by using hacks or glitches? Not very many people would be that stupid & that careless to risk losing their account. Especially since these players would be under even more scrutiny because of their special status & privileges. And for the few here & there that might hack or glitch, guess what, they will be gone & weeded out of the system.

But again, I cant even see this happening hardly ever & I seriously doubt this would ever be that much of a problem to begin with. I cant ever recall seeing any account user with the rank of Second Lieutenant or higher using any kind of hacks or glitches. And Ive personaly seen a toooon of hackers & glitchers in my time here playing CF.

So there ya have it. An idea that I believe would exponentially help to sort out all the real hackers & glitchers & troublemakers & keep them in check. This would also give everyone the opportunity to eventually become these unkickable room hosts & give the legit honest players relief from all the unfair & BS kicks they have to endure. And again if they abuse it, then they get this privilege suspended & even permanently removed if they prove themselves unworthy of it.

So once a player has achieved a very high rank, everyone gets the benefit of the doubt, everyone gets a chance. And if they misuse it, which some will, then they lose it, so no problem there for everyone else either.

The only drawback I can see to this is perhaps, there may still be too many irresponsible people that would not vote fairly...but then again I do think the majority of voters would most often vote appropriately and in the end for those room hosts that use their abilitys appropriately & consistently, it will all average out ok. And the scoring system could even be made in such a way that it takes these bogus and unfair votes into consideration.

For example the system could take each persons vote in the specific game being played & compare it to the votes of everyone else. If one particular persons vote is contrary to the majority of the other players votes by too far a margin, say for example 14 other players voted positively & 3 others voted negatively, then there would be some kind of a negative mark against these 3 voters & if this happens too much & too often across numerous games where they are in the minority like this then some kind of penalty can be brought against them, such as suspension of voting privileges for a week or a month or permanent removal for excessive negative marks. This too would encourage & motivate the voters to vote responsibly & fairly & for those that dont do this, it will weed out the bad apples from the good ones.

I strongly suggest that Z8 should make a new server testing this process where any ranked players can choose to go to & if its a success, then eventually implement this into all of the servers.

Im open for any "constructive" remarks on this idea, good or bad. Anything you like about this? Any problems or flaws you see here? Just keep the suggestions & opinions civil & decent.

Let me sum up your post.

"I am a sad basement dwelling nerd. I put down others to make myself feel better though and cite a younger age to hide the fact I am immature and that is why no one likes me, so I come on here to be an internet tough guy so I can feel a sense of control and power in my life."
