Can Dice come up with some sort of VoteKick and VoteBan mechanic to kick blatant cheaters (Live during gameplay).
The community is smart enough to know when we have a cheater in-game, I would imagine it SHOULDN'T be that hard to implement a votekick or voteban for 3 hours from a particular server?
It's hard enough to find a good populated server with low latency, but then when you do, it's ruined by a hacker... Everyone going off in the chat about it... Annoying as hell.
I find it ridiculous that I have to revert to playing my favorite shooter on Console (PS4) to avoid hackers on the PC Platform...
So much for "PC Master Race"!

I beg to differ heavily.
Keep the option in rsp and rsp only
I remember in BF3 I would get spawn killed by the same guy no matter were I spawned. That was obvious. And I've been accuse of hacking just knifing someone or someone said I was facing the other way when I shot him, but not on my screen. : / Yeah their experts at detecting hackers alright. lol.
I don't agree with bans/kicks.
Voting is a good way to bring attention to suspect players, but no good for convicting only the guilty.
I've been kicked/banned from plenty of servers for playing clean, even had some games become totally unplayable because all the low ping servers in my area had banned me.
When it comes to hacks people also have a herd mentality and once one accusation starts people get suspicion in their heads and then it doesn't stop.
Votekill Yes.
Votekick Yes.
Voteban No.
I don't think community should have the power to BAN players from official servers. Not even time limited. But voteKICK is an efficient way to limit cheaters and improve the gameplay for everyone. No cheater script or report system can beat a vigilante community. It is also not true that it will be abused to get rid of good enemy players, because the kick option could also include the requirement of a certain number of team members voting. Abuse in some few cases, yes, but this will not make up for the improvement of such system.
Reason I mention voteKILL, is because cheaters are not the only problem. For instance, if someone is wasting tank slots by camping in base and not doing anything good for the team, the team (and only the team) should be able to boot player from the tank.
Anyway, I don't think these things will be implemented. Because EA sadly enough only care about money now, including what they make from cheaters. Last time I proposed the vote options, thread got locked without any replies at all or explanations.
It is true it would be abused because it's happened before, regardless of team members people just look at your k/d and nothing else when others complain. It's actually the process they use, someone calls hax...teammate checks score...see's 50-4 kd boom your gone.

This also was from all players as well, clans and non alike, clans actually were worse in some cases because if one did they all did, and when other players also see high vote numbers that also encourages that herd mentality as well.
Who are you talking too in the thread that's arguing there shouldn't be that in rental servers?
All i see is people giving reasons why they shouldn't be on official servers.
Or have the vote/kick only for asian servers. Or have only some servers with vote/kick implemented along side the current situation. Its a good experiment to see which type of server is more popular.
