Team-comtress-2: Make votekick immediately succeed if proposed player manually disconnects

Created on 14 Nov 2020 · 6Comments · Source: mastercomfig/team-comtress-2

Description

This issue pertains to the current bot crisis in vanilla TF2, where certain cheating bots evade votekicks by disconnecting themselves from the server (by way of the disconnect console command) before the votekick completes, then simply rejoining a short time later. This can also be exploited by malicious human players who want to evade votekicks. Adding some code to automatically mark the proposed player as "banned" if they disconnect before the votekick completes would solve this issue.

AFAIK the vote does fail and the bot does not get banned, but only if they actually leave the server and don't use the 'disconnect' command.

I thought if the player disconnects before voting is completed the notification shows that it failed. Am I wrong?

@qabRieL99 pretty sure you're not, bots do not get banned when they get votekicked and they disconnect before votekick ends(also votekick is broken in mvm, it does not ban players)
