Global Spamming Glitch
Acknowledged, WishlistPublic

Description

#vote kick is still part of Standalone, effectively allowing ANY player who knows the command to copy paste and spam global chat over and over again.

Was testing to see how much of Arma is still left in DayZ, and I found #vote kick. Some people who are familiar with it are using it to scare random players on the server and making them log off because they think they're hacking
The actual command doesn't seem to have any function, nothing happens besides the status chat message.

Steps To Reproduce

Go into direct chat and type "#vote kick PlayerNameHere" without quotes, and check the chat at the bottom left. Copy paste to spam global.

Additional Information

Not sure if the dev team is going to leave this in, but if you are, adding a functionality or just limiting how many times you can initiate the vote kick
