"Room Creator Can Kick Anyone" Game Option

[Bunny]

When it gains a healthy population, this guy the creator hates show up. That guy just talks so much shit, and when put on /ignore they just aim the creator at every turn and taunt every time the creator dies. The room is practically soured for the room creator.

Sounds like the creator needs to either report that guy or get good because aiming someone in gunz is not a valid kick reason and before 10 minute timers were enabled and reports for kick abuse nullified, this was not a valid reason for kicking.

We really don’t want more MusturdCake’s/Bart’s/Younesz’s - one of each is enough honestly. This will definitely encourage endless abuse in-game, even though there can be made rules for that function so abusers will be punished accordingly, but overall it sounds very problematic and messy to me personally

Point taken I guess. I've just never encountered the problem because I don't think anyone actually hates me enough to kick me on sight. Seems easy enough to just not piss off room creators if you don't want to get kicked. Forcing players to foster good relations with each other so they don't get instakicked by a room creator seems like a small price to pay.

But yeah abuse could be mitigated by limiting/removing the power when a threshold is reached or something but if the concept of "my room, my rules" itself is the issue then this can never work.

That's perhaps only scratching the surface. Imagine the room creator sees someone they want to kick for whatever reason, and that player is removed from the room, mid-fight. That would make someone think they are death-evading. Additionally, if people are dedicated enough they can 'team' to get kicked before they die for death evasion or team to target a person they dislike.

All in all, I only see problems with this suggestion. Giving this power is too much. Room Creator should be able to just run /kick like everyone else.

I've also seen interpretations of "my room, my rules" to mean 'oh? it's my room. I can macro all I want'.

Like when I would join a room and be insta kicked just for not using shotguns
