Detailed description

• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if any.
A better wording to match the implementation would be "Any player can kick players out of time".
There is no voting; and the action can be taken by _any_ player (it doesn't require _all_ players)
In an area which can already cause bad feelings between players, this unclear wording sometimes makes this bad feeling worse! -

Report history
• All players can vote to kick players out of time.
• Players can't be skipped during games.
• Les joueurs peuvent voter pour expulser un joueur au temps de réflexion dépassé.
• Le tour des joueurs ne peut pas être passé pendant les parties.
• Alle Spieler können abstimmen, Spieler mit abgelaufener Bedenkzeit auszuschließen.
• Spieler können während der Spiele nicht übersprungen werden.
Anybody would assume that if the top option is selected, a player would only be expelled from a game after a vote of the other players, meeting a certain threshold, as proposed in the following suggestions:
• boardgamearena.com/bug?id=107708
• boardgamearena.com/bug?id=35239
But in fact, the first option ("All players can vote to kick players out of time"), which is the default, just results in *any* player being able to unilaterally expel a player who is out of time. There is never any voting! This was extensively discussed in the following thread:
boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=43095
(Also, in the English version the word "expel" should be used instead of "skip". People new to BGA might not realize at first that the terminology "skip a player" means to remove them from the game.)
The wording of the two options ought to be changed to:
• Any player can expel a player who is out of time.
• Players can't be expelled during games.
