Some small changes to chat and voting today

We have made some changes in both the public 'normal' beta as well as the opt-in today.
These changes effect Official servers only.
Global chat has been disabled on Official servers.
Vote kicking has been disabled on Official servers.
If anyone is violating game rules please send a report here: www.americasarmy.com/contact/abuse
We are currently working on some new anti-grief / ROE type systems. Our end goal is to make it so that any time someone would need to be vote kicked, the system will deal with them automatically.

We are taking this one step at a time, so things are very subject to change.

I love this community!
I would guess they want the built-in timeout for not moving to handle that instead of having players kicked for, eg, not playing aggressively as last man standing.
What are the reasons?

Abuse / harassment from players on voip was way too common.
Abusing the vote kick system was also way too common.
Item by item we are breaking things down internally and looking for the best fix for each thing.
The Official servers should be a safe, friendly place to play.
There should be no insults, vulgarity, etc on them.
Some examples of steps we are taking internally right now:
Improved ROE system that will auto-ban griefers
Removal of visible ping to stop that constant harassment (you will see your own, not anyone else's)
Improved Admin response times and an improved reporting system
I could go on, but this at least explains the basic idea.
Expect us to keep trying little things like this up until launch.
Please keep in mind this is for the Official servers ONLY, you private server guys will still have all the options you always have.
You will never get a abuse free game.
