Hi all. I have a question surrounding online racing and hosting rooms. I took the time to set up monitor and build a rep for that room. When in comes a couple of idiots that don't like how things are going or whatever...and snap...kick me out of my own room. They out numbered me I am thinking. How can this be prevented if can be at all. Is there a setting I am missing? If not then this needs to be fixed. I try to run a decent room. Lots of drivers come to this room for this very reason. But when the numbers are low and its just me...i can expect to be kicked??
 
Did you just lose connection or get kicked? As far as I know, you can't kick the host.
 
You can kick the host actually. The feature was implemented in 2.05 to give others the opportunity to vote to reject unresponsive hosts. Unfortunately, it got abused.

Yes..seen it done. I was in a room where the host was idle...i heard a bunch talking about voting him out so they could take over the room and start a race...10sec later host gone...race started. But this is what I am trying to find out.

See above.
 
If you set the it to fixed room ownership then if you leave the room then the room closes.

I figured that...so that is exactly how my room is set up...so it backfired on them...bitter-sweet I guess. So is there a way to ban then from entering my room again?

Not sure. Perhaps just kick them as soon a they enter???

add their psn id to your block list, i did that to a few scammers and they can't join rooms i'm in and sometimes they get booted when i join a room they are in.

Hmmm was just going to ask about that option. That sounds good. I will definitely try that.
 
Thanks guys for the prompt replies. I will try the ignore thing....and or booting them as soon as they enter. Great fourm wish I had found this long ago.

I've done this a few times and has worked like a charm.
 
Shouldn't a fixed host room disable kicking of the host? That would be a pretty ridiculous feature... a "vote to nuke room" option.

Well if the idiots want to kick the host, they kick themselves so I suppose it's fair.
 
Remember as a host you can kick without the vote so just kick people voting to kick you. Sorted no?
