You can set a cooldown period. My votes are not allowed again for 90 seconds.

My problem is that they can just spam it until they are done. Most servers use a process where x number of people have to vote and then they are prompted. In other words they just keep spamming the voteban until it is successful.

And with the built-in TF2 voting system, that makes every single player on Valve servers "semi-admins" because anyone can start a vote, right?

The reason I made my servers was because of lotus which I have repeated way too many times already, but I did it is because the donator system at lotus gave donators a semi-admin powers which is why I also went more and more to ads instead of donators. Pretty much any donator if they wanted a friend in the server immediately started a vote to kick a player. They also muted people simply because the person was young. So when asked "can I buy admin" for my servers I have repeatedly stated "No" because I know it will lead to abuse, which I don't want.

Iv seen a lot since I started running servers 6 years ago, these types of ads are new and are being abused.

I am just curious what would bring you to the decision of setting up ads in the motd. Is your goal to try and grow your community to the size of Lotus? Before I set up my servers I played on DWN's servers and modeled mine after his. I didn't even know ads in the motd were a thing until this thread.

I used to play on lotusclan which had heavy amounts of donators. These donators were pretty much given semi admin rights on the servers where they could do what ever the hell they wanted and no one could do anything about it. I left and built my own servers because of lotusclan and the fact that donators were harming players that were fun, and enjoyable to have on the server. A successful [Owner]: provide an enviorment where any player, can join and have fun without fearing segregation because of age, race, location, or ethnicity.

The way I have come to slowly realize is that people weren't going to donate in my bracket of players. i.e. the Free to Play Generation. For me to be successful I need servers with MOTDs. ______________________________ _________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware. com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ hlds ______________________________ _________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware. com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ hlds -- -- Cameron Munroe http://www.cameronmunroe.com/ http://www.munroenet.com/ ______________________________ _________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware. com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds
