[Feature Request] Disallow votecall for x minutes

Developer discussion of experimental fixes, changes, and improvements.

Moderators: Nexuiz Moderators, Moderators


  • I think it'd be cool if there was a feature that made it so a user must be joined x amount of minutes before calling a vote. It's quite annoying when people join and call a vote, especially during an intense game.

  • timelimit -1 ... to end the feature request in which way? pass or reject? :P

    The ultimative solution is to make "say" votable
    then, when ppl spam a timelimit -1 vote, you `vcall say NO to VOTE SPAM`

    REJECT
    What happens when your the only human on a stinky level?
    What happens if you just joined and your the only one that knows how to call a vote?
    I realy don't care for any feature that limits my capabilties.

    vomit is attempting to vote, Cancel or Allow

    vomit calls vote to kick idea voting on votes

    Once "votespam" is off how would you reenable it? Call a vote? :P

    Making "say" votable sounds like a bad idea

    One would assume there would be a condition that would check to see if you were the only human, in which case you'd be able to call a vote.

    It once took me 10 minutes to get one of my CTF teammates just to stop shooting me!

    I just think we would be replacing one annoyance with another
    And once that person is playing for a while he can spam all he wants.

  • One way that Tremulous allows admins to deal with annoying vote spam is by having a "cancelvote" function for administrators. However, Tremulous has various administrative levels so that it's possible to give people "cancelvote" without giving them rcon access.

    You can already do the same thing in Nexuiz by setting a vote master password ("vote masters" can issue any voteable command without actually having to call a vote and stop votes with "vstop")
