Very short and simple fix for the rampant vote scramble abuse people keep doing for trolling. Just implement a cooldown on when a votescramble can be voted on. Either for 30/20/15 minutes.
Not just that, not enough.
Yes and thanks for this. But I advise you to consider eeymontt's proposal in page 1, which seems to me the most balanced for vote scramble, IMO.
I personally feel that having a longer cool down on scramble would be beneficial as there has been way too many people who just scramble to be assholes or because "funny." I agree with Grigs that it will help with the vote abusing problem we have during this time.

So either an admin or a new automated feature is blocking scrambles from happening from US1. This is the scramble that was being blocked which is clearly stacked teams. I mostly play to end streaks, so for me its whatever, but this is clearly abuse and serves as a datapoint against these changes. This isnt about scrambles happening, this is about stacking the teams so the players in this thread can do well. Do note, that basically everyone in this thread arguing for scrambles is on the same team. If you want to give special permission for donators and admins to stack teams and block scrambles so they can crush the server, thats fine but lets be transparent.

Just going to state that i spoke to the mod in question, and they said they didnt realize the teams were so stacked and it wasnt there intent and there was spam. Im not trying to throw blame on any individual here. I do think these votes should only be canceled if all the top players arent on one team though
Strip away killstreaks, friends, comms, everything. Having some doofus sitting in spawn spamming votes of any kind is fucking annoying. To focus on scramble votes, there's at least two people I've seen explicitly say "I vote scramble to get a rise out of people."
We're not fucking children, it's easy to ignore, but it's also just better for everyone to not let shitheads be shitheads. Why else would I be treading a fourth mute? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
If it's impossible to determine an appropriate cooldown for scrambles, at least put a flat cooldown on all votes in the 10 minute range. Or just worry about no-no words and pandering to the lowest common denominator.

I'd also be for taking away being able to use /votescramble for repeat offenders.
That's a great idea. It would be fantastic. Because it's too often the same people who do it.
If we add a cooldown, as eeymontt suggested, and a higher voting percentage like 45/50/55 (I'm personally in favor of over 50%), it would be excellent, I think.

How about we remove vote scramble so people don’t vote abuse it
So that way people don’t get annoyed every time people keep spamming because the team is unfair or people whining because how good they are and etc

Before suggesting anything else, let's see if what's already been proposed and I summarized above is feasible by the owner.
If yes, we can potentially add the last option, especially since I have one or two names in mind of people who enjoy scrambling and then leaving.

Not seeing how this is relevant. Community servers aren’t going to be affected much, if at all, by anything Valve does. Official servers, yes, but no one goes to 64-player Turbine in any way other than intentionally.
