leech nomination meta-game

In the new voice menu you can look at a player and press Q, M, L to have the game check if they are a leecher and kick them if they are. The way the game checks is by forcing them to press M within 10 seconds.
This can be used by griefers to kick players from both teams even when they are not afk. Imagine someone who bound the Q-M-L sequence to their 4th or 5th mouse key through some automation program(AutoHotKey or similar) and runs around trying to kick everyone from the server.

This needs to be removed or modified ASAP.

I did this on the siege server (sorry guys), it's surprisingly effective and needs to be adressed.  I'm done with it now and have replaced my bind with simply "m" to stop the spam of reports on me now.

Too many wrong accusations are punished as well. At least that's how it is intended to work.

I actually just pressed QML while looking at nobody and got a free multiplier for it. Needs to be addressed, for sure.

I got up to x15 before I got banned.  I'm sure this will be adressed though.

As an idea - have the player freeze for 2-3 seconds after calling someone a leecher; this would hamper people from doing this to opponents.
Also if it is possible you could also make any kind of movement or keypress prevent the alleged leecher from being kicked(Although with the braindead language used by M&B scripts this might not be workable.

Edit: One more suggestion - if anti-leech is kept in then make it so that you have to be right next to the target to use it(it seems it can be done at long range)

or limit it to one reporting every minute/5 minutes

First person to try this crap on any of my servers I will ban without warning.

This does get old, and fast. I highly recommend just a few of these an hour or so, ticket wise.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

Honestly I thought it was a bad joke when I noticed this feature. It should be completely removed imo.
