Summary
Player voting in Insurgency: Sandstorm is a great way for a server to self-moderate and is very useful for users who would prefer not to add Admins or Moderators to their servers. The key benefit of player votes over an admin is that they are always available, enabling players to remove problematic players themselves with the help of others on the server. Player votes are also highly configurable, ensuring that any vote-kicks that occur are fair and within the server's allowed settings.
