Tell chobby about kick ban being over #2912

Open Arch-Shaman opened 2 years ago

Arch-Shaman commented 2 years ago

Currently, the kick behavior when applied to a user is that a ban is applied to that account from the gameroom the kick is issued from. This ban is reset when the user attempts to join earlier than it is over. Users are not aware of their ban status from the game room being lifted / removed. To this effect, I'd like to see the gameroom removed from the game list (or grayed out / something in chobby) until the ban is lifted so the user is more aware of what is going on so as to reduce frustration with this system and to help mitigate some of the harm of abusive kick votes.

IMO just tell chobby about the remaining length when getting kicked (incl. the "kick" of being unable to join due to the temp room ban), and don't reset the ban duration. Then instead of hiding the room you could do a countdown timer: image
