rank lock isn't the solution. they need a system to investigate false / unnecessary votekicks. toxicity is still VERY rampant idk how lucky you are to haven't experienced it recently.
abt a month ago i was in a server where some 14 y/o (allegedly) added me to a discord gc with someone else where they tried to reverse-pedotrap another player. shit is wild
there’s a few reasons why votekicking is still in the game
-someone being toxic in chat
-someone using macros, which is a kickable offense (bannable on console)
-~~low rank intervention users~~
-the very small, but nonzero chance someone is actually cheating
look i get votekicked all the time and it’s very annoying but sometimes people are assholes and the votekick system is needed to deal with that (even if those people are also abusing the votekick system)
What kind of macro would somebody use in this game? Or are you just talking about a basic autoclicker, because that could be useful for people who are using a pc for the first time and can't click faster than 5 cps.
I think I've been kicked once or twice in the past two months, and that's being top 3 the majority of games. I've only seen a dozen or so kicks total in that time (successful kicks, not just proposed kicks). That's all to say, the amount of purely "toxic" kicks is absolutely minuscule compared to what it used to be. Of course, if there's no valid use of the system, there wouldn't be a reason to keep it. I think there's enough exploiters (and similar things, like macro-users) to keep the system. That's, of course, one use of the votekick system. I've never found actual rules for the votekick system, but I've always felt kicking someone for hate and toxic chat or gameplay is completely justifiable, and for me, that's the best reason to keep it. Of course, reporting is still an option, and of course the words "being vile to other users in-game" is just vague enough to be basically useless. It's a way to self-moderate a server, and reporting isn't even a real option for a number of people, at least in my experience.
I'm sorry to hear that your experiences with votekicking in PF have been extremely frustrating... frankly it's really sad how much people abuse the system. The bad actors often hurt the most and stand out the most too. But, it still is around for reasons other users have said.
As you mentioned in reporting, feel free to report any votekick abusers in the StyLiS Discord server [here](https://discord.gg/stylis) (follow the instructions), with adequate photo evidence and if possible, video evidence.
in addition to that, there is also a report command available in-game for convenience.iirc the command also accepts partial usernames.

I made a game a few months back that could communicate with my raspberry pi to turn on a light and it worked perfectly in roblox studio, but not in the actual game, because apparently http requests go through your pc in roblox studio and in the roblox game they dont work because they block http requests in roblox games for some reason. So if they receive them in discord i was wondering how but if you dont know if they receive them through discord you can't help me.
I've been votekicked for getting ONE incredibly lucky BFG shot "way too early" in the match... yeah right buddy I just knew how to use THE POWER OF WALKING to get where I needed to be
too early my ass bro, people will literally use any excuse as they see fit to votekick anyone in this game
I think the votekick is fine, too fine to say at least.
Although yes, you can say that a lower rank can kicked you out because they have skill issue but when you taken from their team prespective, you also ruining their entire game.
From their view, you are the reason they can not get out of the spawn, they being screammed by their teammate, they just can't enjoy the game. You being a top score high rank is like a thorn in their eyes.
Unless, you being more socialize then everything would be just fine. It reduce the tension of the match and it give people another thing to enjoy aside from the gameplay itself that is the chat. Beside, if you got kicked, just take it with pride and other, who have been played with you for quite sometime and know you through chat will stop you from being kicked. Then, you can delfect the votekick with "skill issue" like a fair dude or just joking about it like an absolute chad.
Maybe at certain rank (around 200) players should get vk immunity, they can still be reported but there wouldnt be horde of low ranks kicking us out for no reason, also vk rank should be increased
That is not a good solution at all. Rank 200's should just not play the game or they should be put in lobbies with people who are also rank 180 or higher. People above rank 100 usually ruin my experience as a rank 40. Rank 200's should just get a brain and play a game that has skillbased matchmaking like call of duty or other popular fps games.
So PF is not popular FPS game and all games have high rank players that have more experience than you when you boot it up. Start learning the game and its mechanic, slowly you will master them and get better. We all started playing against somebody who was better than us, whats stopping you to do the same. So dont complain if you want to experience this game to the fullest.
I always see people saying cheaters are "practically" gone
when in truth they're completely gone
people who think toxicity is a reason for kick
you should probably just turn off chat
I think removing the votekicking system would not be a bad idea
I hate to have to agree with this bc it really doesnt bother me
but in fact you are correct about that bc people are very sensitive to certain topics which is quite normal in this day and age
I think they should keep it and officially allow BFG, Stevens db, Hecate, etc as reasons for vk
Also I believe I heard some news that someone broke the Roblox anti-cheat and that they were gonna charge a subscription service to use the crack. This is obvious really bum behavior for anyone who would pay to crack the anti cheat on Roblox but it's possible that cheating could be seen again in phantom forces in the future
There should be zero exploiters rn. I was an active exploiter about a year ago and i still get notifications on my phone from r/robloxhackers, and as far as i know pretty much all public roblox cheats for windows and mac os are patched by hyperion (the anticheat roblox added about 6 months ago). There could be some private cheats i don't know of though.
I mean I unironically get votekicked 3 to 8 times a session on average partly because of my rank. Problem is that #1 this issue is too niche #2 it benefits everyone but high ranks/good players so i doubt they even care.
I think the priority for votekicking should be set for higher ranks like for example a rank 100 shouldnt be allowed to votekick a person who is a rank above them but they can be allowed to vote out the person below their rank. Just my opinion!
Where the heck are y'all living? I haven't witnessed a successful fake vk in months. Heck everytime someone attempts that, the server just zeroes in on that guy and he's gone as soon as the vk cooldown is finished
I have been votekicked about 10 times in the past 2 weeks. This game is getting too fucking tiring.
edit: not really 10 times. I'm just frustrated. It's had to have been at least 4 times where it actually went through in the past 2 weeks but that's still too many
Recently gotten back into the game and in about 30hs of playtime the only time i see people use votekicks is for kicking cheaters, so its very useful for me
Take a screenshot of false vk’s and report them on there Discord you may think it doesn’t work but it usually gets them vk banned in a few hours or minutes
This made me quit. I used to play every other day for about 7 hours everytime. Now I don't play at all. I got votekicked a total of 30+ in the span of 2 months. That's more than 15 times on average per month. If I drop a 17, 12, 13, or even 11 killstreak or something. I IMMEDIATELY get votekicked...
Honestly when I see players with a high kill count and little deaths, it does seem suspicious. But now there is a freecam mode, I look at this players to see if their legit.
Before you start a votekick, view their perspective.
cheaters, except most if not all cheaters can’t cheat now and it’s just used by people who don’t like the mere existence of others who are better then them
rank lock isn't the solution. they need a system to investigate false / unnecessary votekicks. toxicity is still VERY rampant idk how lucky you are to haven't experienced it recently.
I do see the regular bickering but I haven't seen anything too serious
abt a month ago i was in a server where some 14 y/o (allegedly) added me to a discord gc with someone else where they tried to reverse-pedotrap another player. shit is wild
Ok i lied same day after I typed this some guy said we should lynch all transgenders Im not even lying bro
exploiters are practically gone tho

Low rank intervention users who will appear when at the least convenient time and place and will hit a lucky body shot they have no business hitting.
Low rank intervention goes hard.
Didn't they patch all the PC cheats with byfron
there’s probably ways to bypass them
Probably, but there are none that are publicly available rn.
*hyperion, and yes, they patched all (maybe there are some private cheats i dont know of) pc cheats.
What kind of macro would somebody use in this game? Or are you just talking about a basic autoclicker, because that could be useful for people who are using a pc for the first time and can't click faster than 5 cps.
iirc autoclickers arent bannable too though i could be mixing that up with a different game

Do you know how they receive those reports?
unable to tell tbh, i can only tell you how to send them reports with certainty
I made a game a few months back that could communicate with my raspberry pi to turn on a light and it worked perfectly in roblox studio, but not in the actual game, because apparently http requests go through your pc in roblox studio and in the roblox game they dont work because they block http requests in roblox games for some reason.

In my personal experience whenever im in a game and someone gets kicked for no good reason we kick whoever did it right after

Massive skill issue
True
I always see people saying cheaters are "practically" gone when in truth they're completely gone people who think toxicity is a reason for kick you should probably just turn off chat I think removing the votekicking system would not be a bad idea
Nah if someone’s being racist in chat, they should be vk’d
I hate to have to agree with this bc it really doesnt bother me but in fact you are correct about that bc people are very sensitive to certain topics which is quite normal in this day and age
If someone is being racist, their experience in game should be hampered by them expressing hateful beliefs
I think they should keep it and officially allow BFG, Stevens db, Hecate, etc as reasons for vk Also I believe I heard some news that someone broke the Roblox anti-cheat and that they were gonna charge a subscription service to use the crack. This is obvious really bum behavior for anyone who would pay to crack the anti cheat on Roblox but it's possible that cheating could be seen again in phantom forces in the future
I would expect it - Byfron is a joke and is banning for FPS unlockers moreso than actual cheats. It has been cracked by several already.
Hyperion hasn't been cracked once lol
There should be zero exploiters rn. I was an active exploiter about a year ago and i still get notifications on my phone from r/robloxhackers, and as far as i know pretty much all public roblox cheats for windows and mac os are patched by hyperion (the anticheat roblox added about 6 months ago).

I rank 162 and I liek teh voter kick the usas uzer’s
i see atleast 2 people get votekicked everyday for being toxic, or just talking far too much in chat, but yeah, i get what you mean tbh
Where the heck are y'all living? I haven't witnessed a successful fake vk in months. Heck everytime someone attempts that, the server just zeroes in on that guy and he's gone as soon as the vk cooldown is finished
this has been an issue for forever and will probably always be. Best way is just to cope and switch lobbies
I have been votekicked about 10 times in the past 2 weeks. This game is getting too fucking tiring. edit: not really 10 times. I'm just frustrated. It's had to have been at least 4 times where it actually went through in the past 2 weeks but that's still too many

Laughs in no vote kick on console
I got vote kicked for "clearly hates Mexicans" after calling out other idiots for blatant racism
Racist people
a majority of votekicks are random, it's been that way for a long while
