You really need to take into consideration the server rules when deciding whether to start a /poll ban. Some servers allow offensive language, most notably, Planet Mofo. Starting a poll to ban a player on that server will most likely end with you being banned.

The default length of a poll ban is 5 hours.

And you do not want to put any bots on a public server. You will be banned.

/poll kick - kicks a player
/poll set - sets server variables
/poll kill - server kills a player. You don't get points :)


Don't abuse them. May result in a ban.

I wouldn't worry about poll set or kill. You shouldn't really ever have to use those.

Poll kick and ban are more common, and they take the players name as a value. If their name has spaces, then you need to place the entire name between a pair of double quotes.
