Rage polls

[Lt_Anders]

Always press 1(even if me!), he doesn't like he can make a request to ban the guy later!

The badmins disabled polling on NA cuz people started to votekick HX delayers everytime they started dragging out rounds an extra 3 mins, fighting 1v15.

Coincidently, most badmins and notorious HX delayers are in the same clan...hmmm.

What I hate on regepolls is that somehow they are initiated in middle of fray. Probably its intentional and is irritating as hell.
I almost never read them and press 2 sometimes I miss and hit 1.
Will be nice if text is smaller not too visible but not so much like in Deluge mod( I realized they are polling after few hours)

Learn to press ESC if you just want it gone, this way it does not ruin the poll when it is a valid poll. You just abstain from voting.

Still you lose control for 1 or 2 second and this could be fatal.

How about some kind of checkbox on the cRPG page, where you can check or uncheck whether you want to be asked in polls or not? If you uncheck the box the game technically presses "esc" for you, removing you from the amount of voters, so that only people vote who actually care.

Polls and democracy only work if enough people are interested and if those people know what they are doing.

Still you could be kicked or even baned. More people vote lesser this chance is.
Can imagine that this could be used to get rid of good players from opposite team.

You are wrong:

(click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

(this_or_next|key_clicked, key_escape),
(key_clicked, key_2),
(multiplayer_send_int_to_server, multiplayer_event_answer_to_poll, 0),


Escape works in same way as '2' key.

Did not know it but Esc was hidden to me as well

This would be something which falls into the responsibility of admins. If someone starts such a poll and a good player gets kicked for being good, then screenshots and server logs have to lead for a ban/other punishment.

There is no way how you could put the chances for success/failure of a poll in relation to its justification/misuse. You can't give a poll lower chances of success to prevent abuse. If anything, the chances for success should be raised, because due to the amount of "idc-2"-pressers we have that attitude that polls are useless, and this attitude is the reason for that high amount of 2-pressers.

Damn it, polls are doomed. Escape is a lie, you can't escape them!

thought so, all these people saying escape makes you abstain confused me. I think that making the escape button abstain the voter should do alot. I also hate it when i press escape to close the log windom or to close my equipment tab and the vote closes. I have so many times voted 2 on a poll because i was typing a announcement of my poll and than somebody did it before me. i press escape (my natural reaction) and the poll closes together with the  chat window

Do you realize how complicated and time consuming it will be to defend from such accusation.
Smaller less irritating text is better solution

That's why I suggested HERE to write new, more user friendly interface for polls .
Yes, I know, I know, lazy devs won't do that anyway. But that would be the best option.

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

Polls are used to police the community, they are used by the community.
Dont go around trying to tell me how to use them, i KNOW how to use them.
If verbal abuse doesnt work, there will be a poll. Bad behavior will never be tolerated.

And now polls are babystuff as well as analbuttrape, what is wrong with your mind?
