New Kick Voting System

I'm not the first (and not the last) to complain about the kick vote system and how it is misused to kick noobs or good & legit players. But rather than posting an umpteen thread to rage against it, I've decided to post a suggestion for a different system I thought about.

What I think is the problem of the current system is the fact that anybody can launch a vote about anyone at anytime and the interval of about ten seconds is too short, it brings focus on a player and ask the others to make a quick decision. Once a vote is launched most of the players do not want or do not have the time/capacity to make a considered decision. They either look at the players list and the score or F11 any member of the opposite team while F12 any member of their own team. They don't think, they almost act passively.

My suggestion is a kind of active kick voting system.

Rather than launching a vote, each player would have one single vote. Just like you do now with a kick voting, you could go in the menu and choose on which player (from both teams of course) you want to place your vote. This vote could further be changed (once per round for example or even without restriction).
Once a player get enough votes against him, he is kicked.
The needed votes could be 9-10 votes of which at least 3 come from the player's team (for 16 players).

I know it isn't perfect, while probably avoiding some of the current abuses, it would bring new & different ones, but still, it seems to me that it would be a better system. Only when a player bothers enough players in a game would he be kicked from it.
