The biggest issue with anything related to the kick system at this point is that its unreasonably hard for the average player to do anything about getting kicked (besides hoping a staff member online would be kind enough to deal with their situation, which i think takes up unnecessary time from staff members to deal with every kick).
Players can't really report for kicks (youll note that 99.99% of reports related to kick abuse are declined), and most people don't even get close to the point where they are able to report because collecting evidence on kick abuse is so hard. It doesn't display in recordings, preventing gms from getting an accurate understanding of the situation based on screenshots alone.
If it does end up being the case that kicks for using non-shotgun weapons (or other rules preventing kicks for stupid reasons) is not allowed, then something needs to be done about collecting evidence if the rule is broken.
As bram said, despite the kick only being 10 minutes long, considering there's usually only 1 room the average player wants to play from the existing rooms, getting kicked from it, even if only for 10 minutes, would cause most players to just log off and do something else.
