Thankfully this shield glitching is fixed in 0.2.7 which im hoping will be released tomorrow night (US time), so Thursday morning for all you EU players. So far unless there is an overwhelming response to the contrary, I will be disabling kick votes and requesting if theres griefers / exploiters who ought to be kicked but cant, you report them there on the forums where we can deal with them.
As i mentioned before, i believe its possible to add tracking for poll kicking, and infact an entire suite of admin and abuse tracking tools could be added, however this take precious time out of my already tight schedule. So it's really a case of do you guys want awesome new features like randomized waves, new loot, craftin quests, support professions etc, or a versatile way to find out which idiots are abusing the system.
Obviously later on these sort of things will be useful, but I really cant justify spending time out of making cool stuff for you guys on adding things like poll tracking etc.
I hope you guys appreciate where i'm coming from
TL;DR - Shield glitching is fixed next patch, kick polls will be disabled.
