First of all. I was there and saw what happened. I was also a part of it.
Now. Let's quote the server rules about polling, shall we? I've bolded an important part.
No random kick/ban polls. Always specify reason before starting a poll
OK: poll-kicking a leecher
OK: poll-kicking an intentional teamkiller
NOT OK: poll-kicking someone who involuntarily hurt you
NOT OK: poll-kicking someone because you don't like his playstyle
Now for my collection. We were playing on EU 4, having fun fighting with and against each other. Bjord joins but none of us cares, until one of the rounds (the map before the polls) where he for some silly reason started running in front of me when I tried to shoot at an HA harassing us. Dunno why he did this, but he also didn't do it for long, so I thought I should let it go. Funny how he fails to mention this, but wth, bias is bias. Anyway, later on in the new map we continue fighting as normal. During one of the rounds he teamkills Peter during the fighting.
Then the next round, my team dies and the other (with Bjord and Peter in) wins. Right after the round is over, Bjord gets teamkilled by Peter. I don't know from what, but it was AFTER the round was over, and thus didn't affect anything, and as Peter said, an accident brought from the equipment screen. Immediately, before even the next round started, Bjord puts up a poll to kick Peter. No specification of WHY the poll was made, which as I quoted, is something you are supposed to do. No Polls on people who hit you accidentially. I tell Peter over TS to stay calm and see if he posts a reason. He doesn't. Thus we think that this was a ragepoll/poll abuse. We then follow the guidelines and wait for a new round to start, in which we
post the reason for the following poll and then make the poll. This can even be seen in the screenshot that Bjord has been so nice to provide us and which is
how you are supposed to make polls. Poll abusing is a valid reason for a poll, we stated the reason before the poll and most of the server agreed with us that yes, it was indeed poll abusing by Bjord. Thus, there were no case of Poll abuse by Peter and Bjord got his ban for trying to Poll abuse him.
That is all.
