Rage polls

[Leshma]

Rage polls or polls without a good reason are something that has been plaguing EU community for too long. On NA side rage polls are almost not happening when we compare them to us (EU side).

My suggestion how to fix this issue is very simple. Severe punishment for those who do it. Make bans for rage polling long and painful. Also, never forget to ban if a player don't explain himself. If he doesn't speak english that is his own problem and should think before he decides to break the rules.

Polls are almost always disabled on NA servers...would be better to have them disabled on EU as well (unless no admins are on of course)

Which, sadly, is pretty much 80 to 90% of the time these days :-(
Might change though since Erzengel is a trial admin atm and quite often plays siege, so fingers crossed he keeps up the good work and stays around for some banhammer action

Move NA and stay there (or quit the NA vs EU thing). I get also pissed at the ppl who use those polls without any good reason, but even more I'm annoyed when an admin forgets to turn them on when he leaves. When a poll doesn't go through there should be option to ban-/kickpoll the person who started the original poll.

I didn't say that polls should be turned off, I said that rage pollers should stay banned for a long time, to serve as example.

Just make it so that if the poll wasn't accepted, the poll starter gets kicked/banned instead

Right time for polling someone who th/tk you on purpose in battle = start of the round. That way everyone can see when you write the poll reason. Also remember to press M.

Right time for kick poll against someone who is delaying battle = very end of the round (obviously).

QML leechers or report to an admin or pick a good timing for the poll.

Always remember to state the reason!!!

Should be pretty clear, huh? (If you are not sure then make a ban request or ask an admin.)

If not, then prepare to be kicked/banned yourself.

[Leshma]

Just one more thing. Polling is probably the worst form of griefing because it affects the whole server not just those who are in vicinity of a griefer. That's why it should be severely punished.

Rage polling is usually done by new players, and i think the reason its more common on EU is because so many seem to have so fucking poor english skills.
Im guessing they dont understand the rules.

However after some curses and threats they usually learn their lesson and join the community.
Try beating them a bit or doing a counterpoll against them, that kind of lesson works as well.

Favk you man! One thing I hate more than a constant randompoll makers is shithead counterpollers. Its like calling a gay person gay for analbuttrape and than teaching him a lesson by analbuttraping him, which turns into a disqusting scene that noone likes to watch. Never counterpoll. Let the little ragepoller make his one tiny poll and than not get to use it for a while, its not so annoying. Counterpoll him and it turns annoying as hell.

So polls are like analbuttrape for you,  did you get abused as a child by polls?

[Tibe]

It was just a simple comparison. Point was: Counterpolls are childish, babystuff even. Dont do them.
