Kick Voting Improvement ETA?

I was wondering (as many others surely are) when the improvements to the kick vote system that Z8 staff have stated were being worked on will be implemented? An answer from Mods/GM would be definitive.

3. Kick System

-Is in the process of being overhauled, but we have no firm ETA on when this will be done as we are asking the developers for a large number of changes all around. We are not asking for Host kicking discretion; we feel there's enough abuse as it is. At this point we have enough feedback there's not a lot of need for new topics and they will be closed; we know what players want to see in the new system. There will be more elaboration on this process and the new method once we get closer to releasing this.

Summary:

1) Kick vote as of the 08-24-2009 was being overhauled but no ETA it's now nearly a year on.
2) Z8 is not looking for feedback/suggestions about kick voting they will be closed.

We DO care about the inadequate vote kick system. We haven't announced any immediate plans to do something about it but that does not mean we are looking for a solution and want to help fix the system to make players happy.

Instead of ranting about it here, how about you head on over to the suggestion forum and come up with a VIABLE and REALISTIC solution to the problem. Help add to the discussion instead of being rude and obstructive.

Summary:

1) Looking for solutions to the kick voting as of 01-19-2010 .
2) Z8 is looking for feedback/suggestions about kick voting.

Also why is there conflicting information?
