Better yet: have a new vote type "insaneify"
This would make the victim have to listen to recorded sounds that the voters choose, preferably something that NO ONE can stand up to

I know it sounds harsh, but votekicking the players who bring down a team actually helps to get a better game in the long run,

Illogical,  if everyone starts to do that then all the noobs will consider this game a failure and stop playing it, lowering the tremulous population, IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?

apart from necroing, the point is to VOTE-kick. this tells our theoretical noob that he is continuosly making mistakes that are objectively bad, not only judged by one person. ofc the problem is that many people automatically pushes F1 without any interest of its reason.
success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm

The other problem is not *everyone* is smart enough to read the vote, this goes double for a noob. So he would just consider that server/this game bad :/

Where do you get this argument from? What makes you think they would want to quit from getting kicked off a server. I'm guessing you must've felt that way before, because I haven't seen any noobs claiming to quit this game after getting votekicked.

In a community like Tremulous, people either learn about aspects of the game, the tradition, the heritage, and the lifestyle quickly, or they pretty much get eaten up by the learning curve and sod off without so much as a whimper. If they get any attention for whining, they will quickly learn what a useless strategy it is to employ with the kind of player to usually be found herein. Do you really think the game needs new players so badly that we need to coddle people who don't understand that being vote-kicked from a server either means that A) "Hey, maybe I'm being a grommet kook!" or B) "Hey, maybe that particular group of people on that particular server at that particular time acted in that particular manner, but that doesn't mean that is always the case."? Because, I really don't. Tremulous is kind of where I come to get away from people that clueless, and as such, I will either ignore or ridicule them until they either get with the story or go away.

Tremulous. Figure it out (and figure out how to figure it out) or, well, sod off, grommet.
