Team-comtress-2: Adjust votekick system so teams can kick independently of each other

[Malfunktion-issues]

Description

Title says everything. Usually whenever both teams have a bot, one team calls a vote, members of that team tend to send incensed messages to the other team for "not kicking" their bot. You know what I mean, accusations of being brain dead, calls of hating fun, et cetera, et cetera. It would streamline the process and cut down on unnecessary salt. Red can only kick Red, Blue can only kick Blue, but at the same time, that sort of thing.

Not a bad idea... might require a lot of elbow grease to work, but I'll look into it.

This could lead to problem with toxicity, but for now I think it's important

I feel like there is a lot of potential abuse with enemy votekicks, there is likely a good reason it isn't already in TF2.

Ah, I misread the issue, it was late when I read it... oops. Anyway, I assumed that this issue was for fixing the issue of not being able to call a votekick on your team because, unbeknownst to you, the enemy team _also_ had a votekick in progress.

I will _NOT_ be looking into this issue, since it seems like more of a valve thing.
I _will_ however, look into what I assumed this issue was, as that seems more like a bugfix.

No, no, you had it right the first time, my suggestion is simply allowing teams to call votes for their own members independently of each other. Blue can only kick Blue, Red can only kick Red, but now at the same time. Even if we weren't in the midst of a malicious bot problem, the ability to kick enemies would be an incredibly dumb addition.

I see, I think it was just that the wording in the original post was taken the wrong way.

[Malfunktion-issues]

Yeah, I probably could have worded it better, I was running on fumes at that point.

This along with a popup that says a vote has started on the enemy team to X reason would make this a fantastic change.

God yes, anything is better than the stock "You cannot call a vote while another is in progress" or whatever message.

@treacherousfiend I should probably make another issue for this but would changing the minimum player participation for a vote be possible? Right now it takes at least six people to participate in a vote for one to not automatically fail (for example a four to one vote to kick will always come back as a fail but a four to two will succeed).

[treacherousfiend]

make a different issue for it, but in theory it should be relatively easy to make minimum players for voting maybe be a percentage?
