Why is voting still shown as a possibility?

[Gabe2607 215]

It is obvious that "Vote" does not work. I tried it a million times in thousands days and none ever come. Chat moderators on the other side are always there to ban because one got frustrated by the player who was damaging the team. Why do not you take the vote option away at this point?

Voting does work. I used it before and a moderators sometimes do come. The problem is, for a vote to be registered and sent to moderators for review, multiple people (something like 25% of the team) need to vote for the same player. So it's possible that you are the only one trying to vote for some players, and your reports aren't going through. It's also possible that the reports ARE going through, but there are simply not enough battle moderators online to respond in time.

The difference between this and chat reports is that reporting of chat violations is automatic and doesn't have to be done in real time. If a player is hacking or sabotaging, other players need to vote for them, and a battle moderator needs to come to that battle before it ends, and witness the violation with their own eyes. Whereas with chat, if a player is swearing or insulting, an automated system detects it and saves a log of the conversation, which chat moderators can then review later, even long after the battle ends. Chat moderation is also handled by a different, larger team, so there are often more chat mods available to process chat (but not battle) reports.

Ah, that "sometimes" :D. No, voting does not work. As me, hundreds of other players tried it tons of times in the past and stopped using it as it does not work. Yes, sometimes it happens that someone is casually around, probably just playing the game, and decides to ban someone. Otherwise you can be sure none comes even in very long battles. And yes, of course if someone has a video recording software, then sends it and wait, that will probably get the player banned after a week. But I am not going through all that stuff since there is a button that theoretically should have been working in minutes...

I have had the same outcomes when using the vote option on a player disrupting their own team, hacking/exploiting, or using programs that harm the performance of other players.

The question was more for Developers, but their attention to users is well known (...), so no, I did not get an answer, but you can close the thread.
