0000918: callvote kickfromgame

Notes
(0004494) DartPower (reporter) 2012-08-28 10:01	Agreed.

(0004505) Balrog (reporter) 2012-08-29 13:05	This is a good idea, but "kickfromgame" is a very ambiguous name, and if whoever using it didn't read the wiki they might confuse it with callvote kick. Forcespec would be a better name.

(0004506) Dusk (developer) 2012-08-29 15:39	"kickfromgame" would work better for consistency, however.

(0004507) ZzZombo (reporter) 2012-08-29 16:51	create an alias as an compromise.

(0004509) Qent (updater) 2012-08-29 20:13	How would that help? If they know that they have to create an alias then they must already know what "kickfromgame" means.

(0004512) ZzZombo (reporter) 2012-08-30 03:05	Who are "they"? Developers? My message was targeted to them.

(0009679) DevilHunter (reporter) 2014-06-22 18:26	Sorry for the bump and all, but.. Was anything done about this yet? it is sorta annoying for those without Rcon, and hunting down Server Admins.

(0010106) AlexMax (developer) 2014-08-02 16:22	I called this feature "forcespec" when I implemented it in Odamex. I think that name sounds better than "kickfromgame".

(0010113) Torr Samaho (administrator) 2014-08-03 12:39	I added a "forcespec" vote. Please test this binary to see if it works as intended and doesn't break anything. Note: There is no menu option for this, so you need to invoke the vote from the console.

(0010117) Leonard (developer) 2014-08-03 17:28	The binary works fine. The only thing is when the vote is succesful the spectate reason is "votekick" and if I try to vote forcespec myself it prints out "you cannot votekick yourself".

(0010154) Dusk (developer) 2014-08-10 09:28	I am not fond of the name 'forcespec' as it is inconsistent with the kickfromgame command. Either the vote name or the server command should be renamed.

(0010155) Torr Samaho (administrator) 2014-08-10 09:34	And the existing "kick" vote is not consistent with the kick command (the vote not only kicks, but also bans). The name "forcespec" describes much better what the vote is doing than kickfromgame (and is consistent with the existing Odamex vote type), that's why I went for "forcespec". To restore consistency we could add an forcespec alias for the server command. BTW: I reformulated the strings that where only referring to "kick" and added the code to 1.3.

(0010189) Dusk (developer) 2014-08-12 19:05	Your analogy doesn't really work, the kick command is doing something else besides the kicking (though 10 minutes doesn't really matter that much) but with "forcespec" you add another name to "kickfromgame" which means exactly the same thing. Do we really want two names for one command? It's recipe for major confusion IMO. Odamex in and of itself also is not a valid argument because exactly nobody plays it (just go to odamex.net anytime and you can tell that the amount of players is 0). We already have established 'kickfromgame' as the remove to spectators command. We should keep it IMO. If you really want to go for 'forcespec' then fine but I'll voice my concerns here.

(0010350) Dusk (developer) 2014-10-05 22:23	Marking as resolved as 1.3 is now released.
