Back in my day we had a thing called "server software" where we could host our own servers and there would usually be some active referee in the form of an admin on or available to call upon to take care of problem players instead of relying on a vote system that can be abused by the very problem players it aims to handle.

Have you thought about that, Arrowhead?

Oh please no.

There was nothing worse than some power tripping server admin banning people for whatever bullshit they felt like.

Most people who complained about that either never tried to find good servers, of were asshats that either didn't realize their the issue, or knew they were and are just trying to smear ppl caus3 fragile ego.

Or lived in Australia with limited options, and lucky to have a server nearby at all.
