They should have told you something was wrong and given you a chance to correct it. That's not representative for a normal dungeon pug. Try to let it just bounce off of ya' and go about your business. As a tank, you can re-queue pretty fast.

if they're going into normals RELYING on proper/preferred tank skills then they did you a favor.
I'd rather be kicked then suffer 5 minutes of bowtard light attack spamming and miss ice staff of clueless and can't read heavy attacking then running out of the room and resetting when they pull aggro.

Yeah I was taunting. I was chaining, I was using choking talons, I was doing igneous shield combined with green dragon blood.. I suppose I was using banner instead of warhorn. Perhaps I hit a few buttons wrong a few times.

Thanks for the kind replies. It was a strange experience. I encourage people not to kick players who are present and trying. If things are that bad, it is YOU who should leave. At least in dungeon finder group.

Cause that happened to me and I'm mad about it.

gave me a whispered explanation afterwards that I wasn't using the right tank skills.

This was a random normal dungeon using the dungeon finder. I'm a returning player trying to get my feet under myself again. It takes 3 people to kick, so don't be one of these jerks.Give people a chance to learn.

I just needed to vent. Thanks.

You learned to use tank skills as a tank... exp gained

For a normal run, it is a lil bit harsh, but i can understand that the grp wants their members to fulfill their designated role (as you que as such). For example, if we get a "DD-Tank" (norm or vet, who cares), and he/she can't write or is not nice, kicked.... why should we shuttle pseudo tanks through an instance ? my 2 septims.

Well, sometimes I also ignore such ppl, do the dungeon, and leave without words, because they would be wasted on them

Edit:
Pls, no harsh feelings, IF some1 writes that he/she is inexp., or just started to play again, that's a diff. story... BUT COMMUNICATION IS NEEDED ! No comm, no grp. It's a mmo not an single player game.

Don't let it get to you. I've had my tank kicked from Darkshade II because you can't taunt or CC the Engine Guardian, and so a tank's not needed. You'll be able to find other instances where you do everything needed, and you still get kicked, such as letting in a friend just for the final boss, because they didn't want to carry them all the way. Stuff happens.

If you were taunting, then they're jerks. But if you weren't taunting, then you're the jerk for faking your role. I've had plenty of fakers admit that they were just trying to bypass the long DPS queue. That's why I always vote to kick fakes, and drop group if the vote fails.

You aren't good enough to carry them, then?

I think a one problem is being able to spam "vote to kick". I've repeatedly voted "no" to kick a player because I could tell that they were trying and there had been no discussion between us about removing them. But one person just spammed vote to kick so many times that I ended up just voting yes so we could finish the damn dungeon.

There should be a cooldown on voting to kick so that one player can't spam the others until they agree. I'm always happy to spend a bit longer on a dungeon if there's a newer or inexperienced player. People shouldn't pug unless they're willing to accept that not everyone they group with will be super fast or efficient.

Yes. This is a problem. A lot of times they will sneak in a vote kick right before a boss fight as well and other players accidentally click it believing it's a ready check.
