Back in my day we had a thing called “server software” where we could host our own servers and there would usually be some active referee in the form of an admin on or available to call upon to take care of problem players instead of relying on a vote system that can be abused by the very problem players it aims to handle.
Doesn’t this not really fix the problem, though? If the problem is that players are kicking others repeatedly for unjustifiable reasons, having a dedicated server basically just means the server owner retains the right to kick for unjustifiable reasons, the same way a host does now.

Have you thought about that, Arrowhead?
They don’t want that because its a live service game.

And then everyone leaves that server. You’d advertise the rules in the server title so people would go with people who want to play the same
Oh please no.
There was nothing worse than some power tripping server admin banning people for whatever bullshit they felt like.
