Vote kicking
we need a vote kick for all the AFK people and people who freeze servers for 10 minutes..

Because although 99% of the people here are awesome people, the select few just seem to spoil it for everyone else...
Re: Vote kicking
although I do agree the game needs some sort of kicking system, the idea of voting is not a very good one as systems like that can be abused easily.

The forums already have a feature like this, you can report a post, and then us moderators get told about it and we deal with the problem.

I agree that voting system could be too easily abused. Two players could turn public server into a "private" server by just voting out anyone who comes in.

AFK - Away from Keyboard. It means people who are left online, the game on, however they don't play, just let the character stay there. They don't press space so it takes a while for the game to start, and it's just plain annoying...

@Hampa:

I think a better idea would be not to kick them out, but to send them to the spectators...just in case they don't want to lose ranks and stuff...
