As an aside, this is a pretty weak example of abusing votekick, if it's an example of abuse at all. Seems like you've been telling people to go to middle the whole game and you decide to TK a dude after he mildly insults you and kicks you out of spawn. Claiming to be carrying the team while not in the top 5 of your team's score while getting into arguments all the time and telling people what to do is bound to get people to talk back. If you can't handle not airing your grievances at other players while not being able to handle them talking back you should probably just turn off chat.
We have like 12 or so moderators which are global admins, and well over 1 million players total - while we are increasing the amount of mods, we have to do it carefully as they do wield a lot of power.
As you said, there are ways we can work on the voting system and potentially add in autokick in the future, and we're looking into this. No guarantees on when, but obviously manual moderation and reporting isn't enough to deal with the amount of players we have.
