Way to reduce needed votes?

[Konrad]

I was wondering if there was some kind of way to lower the required amount of votes for the various votes(mutiny, kick votes)?

Atm, when a cheater is online, he's impossible to kick. Most people don't pay attention to the kickvote and we find ourselves with about 20 YES / 32.. Same goes for the mutiny (afk commander, fighting commander, retarded commander.. :p) about 15/20.

Reducing the required amount of votes to a reasonable amount so not all the people who get randomly kickvoted get kicked would prolly help votes become useful... For now I've only seen ONE vote in my whole BF2142 gaming time be successful(and it was against a GOOD commander :p).

So if there's a way(although I suppose not), why not try.

Thanks Konrad.
Trouble is this also increases the risk of idiot voting good players, then good players being kicked. The voting of players just coz 'he killed me too many times' or 'i dont like him' or 'its to annoy him' is a bigger nuisance and like you say hardly ever do you see a player kicked, let alone a real cheat. IMO anyway, if a cheat does get kicked via a vote, there is nothing to stop him rejoining the game within a couple of minutes. I do agree with you about the vote being the only way to sort these cheats/bad commanders while there is no admin present but most of time the vote is just an annoyance to many. ;)
cheats: Everyone out there can help timeless by taking screenshots and leaving them in the cheats thread in our forum, we need people to go out of their way a little to help make admin aware of who the cheats are so we can ban them....we already got plenty of regulars and spies looking out for em, you never know who is watching.... :)

It's true what you're saying, but however:

-To container glitch(the most common one), don't you have to get inside the container when the titan is moving?(I'm not sure about that) If that's the case, then kickvoting when the titan shields are off(which is when we realise they're glitchers) would mean a game free of glitching until next round. Then do the same thing again for next round
-It's a great way to get rid of annoying commanders; during the 3 mins or so commander can't apply again, someone can probably get the commanding duty, and so solve the problem of afk / fighting commander.

If you think about it, there is always a median of voters for each thing. If it's a random vote it goes around 10-15 / 30. If it's a glitcher vote it goes around 18-24, and if it's commander around 12/18. I still think it might be a good idea, if possible of course, to reduce the needed votes to a reasonable amount. I've honestly seen the numbers I've just given in almost all votes.

But that might be a bit too generalistic... I may not know what I'm talking about. Guess it's just an idea that could work... imho. Got to see what you guys think about this whole amount of voters for each thing 'theory'

I do believe in giving comanders no matter what rank they are a chance, but just lately its ad if these people dont read whats on screen "Comanders dont fight they comand" and there they are flying sitting on the titan guns and really dont do anything for the other 23 players but exspect the players to win a game for them, but even if a kick vote was successful the chances are the game is lost, and I'm talking about a proper kick vote for bad comanders who say place the titan way out of the game were players can niether pod or use the titan guns or get any transport. thats should automatically kick the noob unless we have admins on all day an night we will have problems and i know thats just not going to happen lol! the glicher's should be kicked from all servers and no money back from stores they bought the game from, then these people would play the instead of exsploiting the game. but there the odd occassionns were a player can pod on top of the titan and drop down to the main deck I've see that happen.
