Remove Leech Nomination Function

[Elmetiacos]

Two more requests for bans for abuse of leech nomination have appeared just in the last couple of days on the EU severs. I've never seen one instance of this being used to successfully kick someone for leeching; it's only ever used to wind people up or ruin their concentration during fights. It does more harm than good and should be got rid of.

Thats not true. I often use it to kick leachers and get my free multi.
Admins just should make clear that an abuse of this results in a 5 day ban or something like that.

remove the function,
its only annyoing to get leeched during a fight...

[Digglez]

asshats will be asshats and abuse it, which isnt THAT bad of an offense.  on the other hand we dont get people sitting round making their team lose because they're not contributing.  Honestly the leecher thing should be HARDCODED so noone gets benefit from it.

I leech all the time and I never got reported...

You get a free multiplier if you successfully report somebody? I didn't know that. If it's true, I think the the resulting problem is obvious.

I disagree with removing this. I am glad we have this function, because if not, it would be even more difficult to enter siege server at prime time XD Leech spammers are just like ladderpulters, they have the power to do it, but at risk of being banned. Just remember to take screens if it is a serious problem.

I believe the topic has been discussed with heat before.. Will edit the link up if I find it before someone else does.

What I liked from the other discussion is to remove the multiplier bonus if a QML is successful as well as the penalty if the player came back and pressed 'M' in time.

So people wouldn't be encouraged (or wouldn't be discouraged to use in some cases) to abuse the Nominate Leech Function.

I think you did not understand what I am saying, or you are just trying to pick a troll fight with someone. Let me re-structure that, it is nice that leechers are kicked out because it keeps server numbers down period. People are willing to use the qml function on leechers, as opposed to vote kicking (because people get alot of flak for polling, whether it is valid or not.) Polling interrupts everyones game, and often people get counter polled for it. I would say removing the multiplier would be nice...But personally, I think the system helps clear out the leechers quite well.

EDIT: Tbh I hardly use the function myself, but I am glad to see that others can keep the server clean. Yes there are spammers sometimes, but it is nothing beyond the control of *screenshots* temp ban.
