Skials voting system needs a rework, in no other server does a 12-2 vote fail but yet on skial votes like these constantly fail. You could have some dude blasting ear rape and 10 people vote yes and 1-2 vote no only for the vote to fail because "[SM] No option won the vote (60 required, 58 received)"

This suggestion has been closed. Votes are no longer accepted.
This is exacerbated on 64 player servers, ie) Had a mormon bible thumper preaching non-stop for several hours with 4 of his friends...
We called at least* 5 votes to gag the guy...heard from the crowd of angry players at least 8 votes failed. Those who abstain should not count against those who vote yes.

-1.

I believe that the current vote system is like this to prevent vote abuse mutes. There are other skial game modes and servers where players would absolutely abuse the vote system if it required less of a yes vote to pass.

I believe in the grand scheme of things it would be better to just report people who abuse the changed system instead of making everybody else suffer with a crappy voting system we have now. Vote abuse is already against the rules it's not like much would actually change apart from maybe needing to report people instead of just relying on the vote failing.

I believe it should stop having a requirement for restarting the round though.
 
After going to US 2FORT and having someone micspam the entirety of Soulja-boy's "Crank That" in extremely low quality through their speakers recorded through microphone. Then fail a micspam vote, because a few people thought it was funny, I would support this.

But after actually writing my answer out, I think it would be best just to record and use the !report function in cases such as those. You only need three players to pass a vote report.

You did not take the screenshot when the vote ended. If it was 30-6 it would have passed.

Except that it didn't. There have been plenty of times a bunch of votes don't pass because your votemenu system is biased towards the 2 players that pressed F2. I've played on Skial for more than a few hundred of hours and I've seen time and time again voting failing to pass for reason nobody understands.

Mute and gag is 80% and kick is 90% to prevent abuse. 30/36 votes is 83% which is very close to 80% so it is obvious that a few people voted no after this screenshot was taken.

This is flawed, It means it takes just barely 10% of people saying No in a 24 player server for a vote to not go through. Bad actors can get away with so much for free that this voting system might as well never exist and completely disable server mutes and kick.
And it doesn't just stand for muting and kicking. Other options such as disabling random crits, crit on cap for CTF and such options are difficult to change just because a very small minority against a great majority of players wins just because this system is built for abuse that would be rarely be an issue.
