what happens if i was booted out of a room for no reason. I wasnt even there, I was attending my daughter and I came to to being booted lol. People can be childish at times. *sigh* .. some person booted me out .. I had had to warnings from previous people for being "away" *rolls eyes*

Awww poopoo :cry:

First of all did you click 'away' so the server would auto skip your draw turn? If not, you should do that before leaving the computer. If you did and you were still booted then not much can be done about that. My best advise is for you to move into the studio if you need to leave your computer for an undetermined amount of time.

even if you were just booted, an admin cant really do anything if they see it... but then again, at least you werent blocked or banned so you can at least join a different room :biggrin:

There's no longer any reason for players to boot you if you are away as the server will automatically set you /afk on the first draw now. I'm sorry you were the subject of vote abuse but please don't think it will reflect badly on you in any way. It happens to many good players :sad:

this is a common issue about an old habit. Do the instructions pages say now that a user is set afk on first draw timeout? That´s something that perhaps should be highlighted now...

Before the server was updated to set an idle artist to /afk it's true that players were permitted to vote someone out if they were disrupting the flow of the game by being away every time their draw came up. That said I can't see it as ever being acceptable to vote a player the first time this happened as there could be many reasons for a slow start to the draw that others in the room are not aware of. I would always encourage players to wait several rounds and only then, if certain, vote to remove the player who is away. The server sets the artist to /afk the very first time this happens when, as far as I am concerned, there is no justifiable reason to vote anyway.
