Increase amount needed for votemute

So a few days ago I had a little experiment. I called three votemutes on myself while neither talking or typing. Even though I had no reason to be muted, all three times I was. The requirement was barely met each time, with 67, 69, and 67% during the three votemutes. I have come to the conclusion that people vote yes just for the sake of voting yes...

I propose increasing the 65% requirement to 75%, so innocent people don't get muted for no reason. Even though people will still probably vote yes just because, it will be harder for the person doing nothing to be muted. And if someone is actually breaking the rules, it is still a reasonably percentage to get him/her muted.

I bet almost everyone here has been muted by either a butthurt player, or just a dick thinking it would be funny to mute someone. Vote abuse is hard to fight, but this could help solve the problem.

This system is not really solid. People who didn't said a word being votemenu'd, and 4 year old russian 'prosni" kids spamming and micspammers don't even get 50% . Why? Most of the people are not giving a fuck about voting and press the button that seems the coolest.
 
-1, it's well over the majority and if MORE than the majority want it to happen, it should.

I know that a lot of people just vote yes, but if it was more than it currently is, that shit is never going to pass.

Votebans pass if everyone is sure that a rule is being broken, and that requires 90%. If someone is micspamming something terrible, pretty sure 75% of the server will agree on it.

In my entire time playing on Skial (over a year now) I have never seen a voteban successfully pass. That's not to say they don't, as the banlist confirms they do, it's just a rarity. If over 60% of the server wants someone muted, it should be. I have hard enough time passing votemutes on blatant trolls and micspammers, sometimes it barely passes with like 63%. If people are abusing the system, report them..it's what the admins are here for. It's unreasonable to raise the amount anymore than it currently is.
 
I've found similar situations occurring. Well, not exactly similar....generally jealous players pull mutes on me, whether or not I am talking. So that shit needs to stop. +1

generally if the mic spammer has friends on it may be a little difficult to mute em

instead of us being able to rid ourselves of nuisances, we'd have to call an admin in because Beavis brought Butthead and a few others into the server and is unable to be muted.

Yes, true.
But, there are always 2 sides of an argument.
It could be BETTER for admins to not have to deal with vote menu griefiers
