#96893: "Kicking players who go over their time limit in tournament game should be disabled or require a vote"

• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
There is no reason that games in tournaments that have round time limits should also have the functionality of kicking players who are out of time, if there is still time left in the round.

It is very frustrating to be playing in a tournament that still has 10-15 days left in the round, but one player in your game is playing slow, so someone kicks them, which ruins your game, and now you still have to wait 10-15 days for the other games to finish anyway. It doesn't save anyone any time, it just ruins games that we have been playing sometimes for weeks.

The round will end and kick that person anyway, if the game isn't over by then. There's no need for players to arbitrarily enforce time limits in their own game (usually for selfish reasons, like they are losing) in tournaments that are already being automatically enforced equally for all games by the tournament's round timer.

This could be solved in several ways, all of which make the tournament experience strictly better, but the two best suggestions are:
1) Simply disable kicking players entirely, because, as per the reasons above, it is unnecessary, redundant, and only makes the experience worse for everyone.
2) Kicking requires a unanimous vote from the remaining players. Then we can still kick people who have actually disappeared, without ruining the games for people who are slightly slow.
