The Valley Prison votekick command is /votekick [username] or the shorthand /vk [username]. Players can also start a vote through the in-game leaderboard by clicking a user's name and selecting the Votekick option. Once initiated, the server votes on whether to remove the rule-breaker, resulting in a 1-hour server ban if passed.
How to Initiate a Votekick in Valley Prison
Players have two ways to start a votekick against someone violating the game's rules: using chat commands or navigating the leaderboard inspect menu.
- Enter the command or select the player: Type
/votekick [username]or/vk [username]into the chat window, replacing[username]with the exact player name. Alternatively, open the leaderboard, click on the target player's name to open their inspect menu, and click the Votekick Player button. - Select a reason and provide context: In the votekick graphical interface, choose an official reason from the dropdown menu. In the text field, provide clear, formal context explaining what the player did (for example, stating specific tool abuse or detailing rule violations).
- Submit the vote: Click the Initiate votekick button.
- Wait for votes: The prompt appears across the server. Other players have a mandatory 5-second waiting cooldown before they can cast a vote.
- Vote outcome: If the total count of "Yes" votes meets the server threshold, the targeted player is immediately kicked and server-banned for 1 hour.
If you attempt to run the command on yourself, the system rejects it with the message: Votekick Failed: Cannot votekick yourself.
Votekick Requirements and System Limits
The votekick system includes strict requirements and operational limits to prevent spam and abuse in public lobbies.
| Feature | System Rule / Value |
|---|---|
| Level Requirement | Level 100 minimum |
| Initiation Cooldown | 5 minutes between votekicks |
| Voting Delay | 5 seconds before a vote can be cast |
| Penalty on Pass | 1-hour server ban |
| Private Servers | Disabled (votekicks cannot be issued in private servers) |
Earlier versions of the game required Level 50, Level 70, or Level 75, but the system now requires Level 100 to access both the command and the interface.
Votekick Menu Details and Automatic LEO Bans
When a vote is called, the pop-up panel provides transparent player statistics so the server can make an informed decision. The screen displays:
- The target's username and current team
- Account level and server playtime
- Total innocent damage dealt
- Stated reason, written context, and the player who initiated the vote
Innocent Damage and LEO Bans
The game tracks damage dealt to innocent players. When a votekick is launched against someone who has accumulated excessive innocent damage (tracked in logs between 200 and 300+ innocent damage depending on the patch iteration), the system automatically issues an immediate Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) team ban to that user. The votekick continues running, meaning the player can still be completely removed from the server if the vote succeeds.
When a player is successfully kicked, the game informs them of the exact reason chosen and reveals the username of the person who initiated the vote.
Rules, Abuse Penalties, and Reporting False Votes
All votekicks—including votes that fail—are logged and tracked by moderators. Valley Prison enforces severe penalties for misuse:
- False Votekick Reports: If an illegitimate votekick is called against you or another player, you can click the Report button located in the top-left corner of the votekick menu.
- Punishment for Abuse: Abusing, spamming, harassing, lying, or votekicking outside of official reasons will result in a minimum 7-day ban from the game. Players must maintain a formal explanation in the context box.
Alternatives to Votekicking
If you do not meet the Level 100 requirement or the votekick is on a 5-minute cooldown, you can use staff reporting tools:
- In-Game Mod Call: Type
!help [reason]or!mod [reason]in chat to call an active moderator to your server. This command has a 2-minute cooldown and carries ban penalties if abused. - Discord Ticket: Join the official Valley Prison Discord server and navigate to the
#open-a-ticketchannel to submit recorded video or screenshot evidence directly to the moderation team.
