vote sabotage

So all this week, but importantly today, about 1 hour ago, it was El Alamein, then omaha, with 12 on 12,
someone knowingly set it back by vote, sending it to 5 on 5  El Al again,
they are doing it on purpose to sabotage the server population, this must be stopped,
when the population raises above 30 on a Friday,
it should either be disabled for most of the day / night, or the optimal maps lined up pre set at least with no vote

As well as investigation into people voting for exact previous map as next map repeatedly at start of each new map, especially if that vote is for el alamein

Re: vote sabotage

100% agree. This voting shitshow must be removed altogether on all servers. Only cycled map pull would be great. I remember when some ruski clowns did the same with Berlin map. Population then dropped from 50 active players to 12.

The voting system is helpful with small server population, but I think it's best to have it automatically disabled when certain amount of players joined the server (say, 30)
In other cases, it's up to the presence of admin to disable the map votes as they may be abused by certain players, like voting for El Alamein during El Alamein map.

Re: vote sabotage

Server was again, sabotaged by at least 1 person voting el al when its already on that map at low population but filling for the day at 21 ppl,
they then voted it a 3rd time and morons there, at least 10 of them added to that vote, at these critical times of day, it must be disabled or remove the map except during populated hours on weekends

Re: vote sabotage

To address the issue of constant map voting and improve server revenue, I propose implementing a monetized voting system. By requiring a $5.00 fee to initiate a vote and a $1.00 fee to cast a ballot (via credit card or pre-paid balance), we can immediately curb vote-spamming while supporting server costs.

Additionally, I suggest a financial deterrent for team killing: a $1.00 penalty per offense. This "utopian" model would ensure that every action on the server—from changing the map to accidental TKs—has a tangible value.

Re: vote sabotage

I've noticed this shit too, playing el al ctf then voting for it again.
It's annoying, and I think they do it for that exact reason as most players hate el alamein ctf.

Really all it means is most players will connect to moongamers rather than simple.
Admins unless you want simple to turn into a small private club of el al freaks , do something with the voting please.
