There was a player on last night with some sort of lag spikes. He would be 63 for a few seconds, then he'd be at 700 and so on. Does the server kick for high ping?

I have never seen it ever happen.

Yes it does but it has to be above 300ms I think, have to double check though.

The whole concept of "If a player is a high pinger he makes everyone else lag" is pretty old and no longer true, kind of a leftover from the Quake 1 server engine days where it was all 50/50 client/server based play. Game server engines treat each client uniquely, filling in with a lot of "client prediction".
