If you get kicked, you are temporarily banned until someone else gets kicked. This is why you can't rejoin.

Also, if you lag, you can get desynced, and the server will kick you.

Oh yeah now that you've explained it like that, that's happened to me a few times too.

Maybe the other team really is votekicking you. I'd score like 9 times in a row and suddenly disconnect for no reason ;_;

Thank you both for the responses.

But no, it has nothing to do with the cap limit, it will happen at any time during the match (as a matter of fact, it has honestly never happened to me after the intel cap-limit has been reached). It also seems to happen at the most inopportune times. Like yesterday, two times in a row I was on my way back to my base with the enemy intel and the connection would just drop (although nothing was/is wrong with my router/internet connection). It's almost as if the enemy team is "secretly" votekicking me, but I know that's not the case.

I also saw a similar question on the forums and someone had stated that it had something to do with "lagbans" (which does make sense, it's as if I am banned from the server for 15 minutes or so. After that, I am able to join in and pick a side, etc.), although I can't find any more information on that. If you guys could point me in the right direction, I would also appreciate it.

Thank you.

there's a bug that disconnects some players when the cap limit is reached. do you know if this only happens when you get dropped after the cap limit is reached, or if it happens regardless of the reason you get dropped?

Excuse the language, but I'm fucking sick of this happening. I will randomly get kicked out of the game (not /votekicked, the game will just randomly timeout or some shit) and when I try to rejoin, It won't allow me to choose a side. This is really getting annoying as it happens on almost every server that I play on at least once a day.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
