maybe they could rename it “REDEPLOYED”. That probably sounds nicer and won’t hurt feelings. You’ve been redeployed to a new team 👍 (one that doesn’t wanna PTO)
Also, why does my tank pull extremely hard (left or right) when I switch aim between inside/3rd person view. That’s just whacked up
Was there mention of being able to lock your squad? This could be a solution to not being able to kick, maybe?

It's already been mentioned by others: kicking isn't inclusive.That I would say is the whole point.
The squad leader has to be able to decide who is included. If you are excluded (aka kicked), then it is not because of your skin color or because you are gay (or whatever being ' inclusive' would be about) but because you are either sniping from the edge of the map, yelling 'request order' every 5 seconds or obviously do not want to play with the squad but maybe prefer to sit in a vehicle close to your base while we other 3 try to capture a flag near the enemy base for 10 minutes.
So yes, not caring about 'inclusiveness' but being able to open a place in the squad for someone who WANTS to PTFO with us is precisely the point here.
You do realise that I don't disagree?

Sorry, I did not. You wrote:
"I get why they haven't included a kick feature",
and therefore I assumed you know their reason. But after I asked what this reason might be -- after nobody else here seemed to have know one -- you replied that 'kicking is not inclusive' and for that reason I concluded that you thought that 'being inclusive' must have been the reason for preventing us from having this basic tool for squad management.
Whatever. We will use the 'Create new squad' workaround. No real big problem for us and this achieves basically the same thing, but might in the end be actually WORSE for the person left alone in the squad. If you kick someone, Dice could even decide to automatically collect all kicked players in their own squads. If you just leave them in the previous squad, they will be on their own. Which is most likely what they deserve anyway 😉
Cool, that's why I was asking as I figured I wasn't being clear. Basically while I understand their reasoning, mostly based on the screenshot, I don't actually agree with a kick feature not being implemented. It never hurt my feelings when I've been kicked in the past and I assume that most people would do what I used to do if it happened - carrying on in a different squad or solo.
@ElliotLHThat's exactly Dice's reason. It's so woke and stupid. You don't keep the rotten apples in the same bushel. They'll rot the whole bushel. This is the only way that maybe some prone 2 objs back sniper or tank hog staying back at the base learns that that dog won't hunt!
Not being able to kick, punishes those who PTFO and rewards those who do not. Plain and simple.
WOW -- just watched this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wGfvfU2niE
I would say we should definitely stop talking about kick/ban before getting removed from the forum as well.
😮

Putting all my cards on the table, I'll state this--I'm a PS5 console owner that wishes I had not purchased this game.
That having been said, what happens when a team with a majority of PC players looks at the scoreboard and decides that console players are the ones that held the team back? Would the object be to bounce console players off of teams/squads whenever possible?
Actually, the question is rhetorical--I know for sure it would happen.
It's just a matter of how often.
Different topic really but my two cents is that cross-play should be binned for the next Battlefield, it doesn't help anyone and creates another level of PC vs Console toxicity. PC players (mostly) have a completely different play style to console players. Would love to see a return of PC only version (and a Console version) with players separated onto each plaftorm, with the return of proper clan servers where you can control how much CPU / Memory you want to prevent these performance issues we are seeing with desync, lag and rubber banding.
They are right to not implement the kick/ban feature. It has been abused in the past and it will be again, especially with this community at maximum toxicity levels. I recall being kicked from squads for no reason whatsoever, most likely because they were making room for other friends coming online. If they want to do that, they should just create a brand new squad instead of kicking me and having me forced to go through squad management to join a new one.
I don't see any reason for outrage over this decision. If you don't like one person on your squad, then just don't play with them or go to a new squad.
