Editing Cheating in online games (section)

===In-game kick===
In general kicking is perceived as a mild punishment, serving as a warning for the player in question. Some anti-cheat systems may decide to kick players out of a game server when the system integrity cannot be enforced nor be determined with certainty. Other anti-cheat methods may also utilize kicks as an instant punishment for presumably unfair game play behavior.

Some games may also provide the community with the option of voting for particular players to be kicked. Such a system provides the power to self-regulate and effectively get rid of abusive players without depending on [[#Player supervision|supervision]] or other anti-cheat methods.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Voting|title=Voting in Team Fortress 2|date=2011-04-14|access-date=2015-07-08}}</ref> Even though vote kicking brings many benefits, it may also serve as a tool for trolling or [[griefer|griefing]] by allowing for legitimate players to be removed out of the game through the voting process.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://steamcommunity.com/app/730/discussions/0/864960354109863154/|title=Griefing and voting in Competitive CSGO|date=2013-02-24|access-date=2015-07-08}}</ref>
