I can witness to the fact that the dreadsword clan teamkills, not all the time; but sometimes.
It was pretty bad a couple days ago with the whole game being determined by this team killing.
Personally when I am attacked I just run away as there is the vote kick function that does work; however when the offenders can join right back after they are kicked, it is hardly effective.
In a way I prefer the unregulated wild west nature of the server rather then a admin who over regulates the situation. I just keep thinking of how toxic the permanent banning admins of Napoleon were whom by I have been permanently banned from the only active server for "being too close" to their regiment.
I would rather deal with a few toxic players in the server whom I can physically deal with then have a tyrannical admin who permanently bans players on a whim.
I hope there isn't permanent bans in the community, but maybe there should be a 1 hour vote ban option? I just worry this would be abused like if a whole clan organized to ban their whole team(excluding themselves) 1 by 1. So maybe this function should only be an admin ability (however this is still worrying due to my previous logic although not as horrid as the permanent ban option).
