    When someone starts a kick vote it says to "@ vote yes or no".

    How do I vote?

    How do I start a vote?

    I used to be able to do it on BF2, but on BF3 I haven't figured it out. :(

    And I'm too lazy to go look it up.

    HAHAHAHA!!! But, you weren't too lazy to type THIS message! :)

    It just seems that a lot of BF3 has been made difficult. They just couldn't leave well enough alone. They had to re-invent the wheel.

    Never use it as I can kick at will but to try and answer your ?'s need 2 people to initiate and I believe it is "@votekick username", once vote kick starts its "@yes" or "@no" to vote and you can only vote once no matter how many times you try, you need a certain amount of yes votes before said player is kicked. If this is wrong I am sure some one will chime in and correct me.

    To initiate the kick, two people have to put the player up for "nomination" by using @votekick playername (it will correct mispellings as long as they're not too bad).

    To actually vote in the poll, just hit J to bring up the chatbox and type YES or NO (no @ required). This will log your vote.

    If enough people say yes then the player is kicked. I think the timeout for the vote is something like 5 minutes but I could be off.

    ^^What he said. If you forget just follow the in-game chat on how to initiate a votekick, once a votekick has been initiated again follow the in-game chat because instructions will be spammed for the 4 minute votekick duration ;)

    ....and don't try to votekick a UAN guy like that guy did when he tried to votekick me. Not sure why you are in here asking, you voted yes when he initiated it.....

    also, do you want your copy of Left 4 Dead 2 or not?:emot-toughguy:

    Also Bender that votekick shit stays up forever on the TDM server, not sure if you can fix that or not but just a heads up.

    EDIT! I actually see what the issue is now and it wasn't there before, it was a botched .cs file. All is well now, no more vote failure or success continuous spam.

    yeah exactly... the basic script error wasn't there at the various times... it all depends on when the server was last restarted... herp derp.

    Weird. The time the server restarts fucks up the plugin? That's crazy.. (more herp & derp)

    Glad this is sorted btw. It looked really messy. This still possoble (fab new word not unlike possible) to happen? And on all 3 servers?

    Ok cool. I've been typing @ also. Wasn't sure.

    If I voted yes to a UAN admin/member/player, I'm sorry. My old CS buddy and I used to vote yes to ALL kicks just as a joke. Remember, I'm still new here.

    I've been with Team Player Gaming for years.

    I spend ALL MY AVAILABLE PLAYING TIME here now.

    Nothing against those guys, I just like the Team Death Match SOOO MUCH BETTER!!!

    BTW, where is the server because my ping never gets below 50.
