Kick + Reason Soultion
For those that do not know, the option to state a reason for kicking someone was removed several weeks ago. This was due to people kicking random people for stupid reasons or no reason at all. If the same ability to type a reason in yourself were to be brought back, it would probably negatively affect the game. Now, getting someone kicked is much more difficult, as people can't tell if you're kicking the player for something horrible, or for no reason at all. What makes failed kicks even worse is that the person you tried to kick is likely going to try to kick you, then someone else tries to kick someone else, his friend tries to kick the guy that tried to kick his friend, and it turns into a giant kick war. I do realize that you can type in the reason in the chat, but it is very hard to type the reason in before people start voting. My solution seems simple and even sort of obvious, but nobody has suggested this yet.
My suggestion is to have a list of reasons to choose from for kicking. This list would include: AFK, Bomb wasting, Disrupting the Game, Bomb Camping, etc. I believe that this would greatly improve how annoying players are dealt with, and cut back on random kicks. I don't see any big downsides to it, but if you can find any problems, I would like to hear your feedback.
