Yes and no. I've noticed the chat-spam seems to be manageable, mostly. If you keep getting kicked for it, it's not that interesting anymore.z-man wrote: But all of this is really useless as long as the kicked spammer can just come back and continue.
But I'd love to have anything that gives us persistent kick bans. How it looks could make the difference, though. When it's chat spam, I have a tendency to type at my normal speed and hit up against the spam protection. Sometimes to reset the spam protection so I can finish what I was saying it's easier to just hit a couple of chat keys, get booted, and come back, than to wait for the spam protection to wear off.Who's for a quick-and-dirty kickban for spammers? (Persistent only for the current server session, possibly a match or a given time)? A console command and new votes would exist for that, too.
So, you're talking about having four voting choices now, right? Acept, Reject, Don't care, Accept for 10 minutes? Something like that?
How easy would it be to work in another configuration setting that basically specifies "after you've been kicked SPAM_SETTING times in SPAM_SETTING minutes, you will be banned for SPAM_SETTING minutes"
