I’m not sure why the vote kick doesn’t just save the steam id when the vote is started. Then it doesn’t matter if they leave beforehand, in fact, if they leave prior to the vote finishing, cancel the vote and default ban them for 12 hours. From: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com

We recently started using Valve’s own votekick feature on few of our TF2 servers. It seems you can prevent yourself from getting votekick banned by disconnecting just before the vote goes through. Seen a lot of players do this recently and it’s really an annoying problem. Is there any way to
