The issue with this is that someone could make a bunch of sockpuppet accounts and kick all the normal players off as a troll.

This isn't meant to be a feature that everyone can use, it's only for people who have been handpicked by staff. No?

Add a role with this permission only relevant to players who are vetted by staff. If we give the green light for a certain player then they'll be granted such privilege and it goes without saying that abuse of this power results in retraction of said ability and/or disciplinary action. This would very easily counter people coming in spamming botted accounts just to kick players.
Oh god, not another fucking staff rank 🤦♂️
something like 'peacekeeper' rank. Could work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

its not a staff rank, you're missing the point
Giving someone the ability to vote to kick someone is practically giving them a staff rank. You're instilling some trust and authority in them. It will go to people's heads.
It's easy to target one player by majority of players to kick particular player for no reason.. -1

Yes they do have some sort of authority but that's as far as their powers will go, and besides this change is definitely in our favor. If we grant a power like this to people who we genuinely believe will put it to good use, there will be less disruption across the board when staff is unavailable. We can either make it so every player online can vote on a person who these regular players want to kick (and trolling cant exactly occur in this case) or we can make it so once the votekick is initiated only other regular players can vote (a minimum of 3 need to be online).
