Make a wish #2: Voting

[Halte]

About the reasons: well, I think there's shouldn't be a 'weak' reason for them. why? basically to avoid stupid who writes stupid comments on it.

From my experience, at least allowing weak reasons allow you to vote. Sometimes its just a pain in the ass to kick a teamkiller or a hacker because the server reject every reason you try. FaD_Hipsterr's idea could fix that btw.

About the time limit: Yeah, It's a good idea to have 3 sec to change the vote, I think the unlimited time to vote will bring another way of abuse or maybe I'm wrong, idk.

Are you speaking about changing a F1 into a F2 (or the opposite)? If so, I think it would be a good idea. How many times did I failed a vote because I was trying to vote and play at the same time ;)

For those who connect/reconnect to vote for a map or kick/ban a player; there's must be a quota vote based on IP's not cn or nickname. for example: 3 votes per match. or less if you want [only votes for maps or kick/ban, not shuffle or whatever]

I agree. It can be quite annoying when someone vote spam using /reconnect. If you are fast enough and call a kick/ban he will just /reconnect and keep vote spam. Without admin you cant make him stop.

But a vote quota isn't the best idea. What if you have to kick laggers,hackers, abusers or if you have to shuffle or whateva? 1 shuffle, 2 kick and you're fucked :)
Same thing with a time limit between votes. What if a hacker start ruining the game and you have to wait 3 minutes until your next vote?
I don't know what would be the best solution I must say.

Maybe adding definite reasons for kick and ban may stop vote abuse rather than allowing the user to post whatever reason he wants for ex : 1 tkill 2 abuse

If you want to vote abuse you will always find a way. People will just spam vote using the defined reasons.

But I agree with you. I think defined reasons (as complete as possible) would help a lot to avoid spam and bullshit votes.

I know the kick and ban options have been removed from the menu to avoid more spam but the kick menu would be necessary because we cant expect every player to know all kick/ban reason and spell them correctly.

Actually, players know, that they don't have to vote "no", since ignoring the vote has the same effect. You can't count them as "don't care".

Sorry but I disagree with that.
If you don't say you disagree with something, people will just assume you agree. You cant complain that you didn't want this vote to pass if you didn't vote against. There is an F2 option, it's for people who disagree. People who don't vote just don't care. If they care they vote. If they are too lazy to vote then they don't care enough. And people who dont care shouldn't block a vote.

If someone joined a server mid game and their play time is less than 3 minutes, do not allow them to start a vote (for a new map at least.)

Changing map isn't always spam. I agree that if people are playing a map when you connect, you should play it since nobody forced you to joined this map. But sometimes people agree with you to play a new map.
