Map voting disable command

Hi everyone, it would be good if players would be able to vote to disable map voting, because it gets really annoying when the map changes 20 times in 5 minutes.

Yes I agree, it would be good.

And this is why there is the built-in setting to stop changing maps after 5 minutes.
Eventually, they'll stop. Too many people will want to play instead of keep reloading maps again and again.

Perhaps a "counter" that will count up how many times the map has been changed in the 5 minute deadline; when the counter reaches...3 let's say, then map voting is disabled and you'll have to play that map.

A "deny vote-map" command might be easier in a way, but what if the vote fails? Then it's back to map-changing all over again.

I made a configurable limit until when a map can be changed or restarted (diff). But I guess R-CZ already has something like that.
(The patch also adds poll votes, but only for those who have the corresponding privilege, to prevent spamming, and also adds a variable for the threshold for draw votes votes.)

But then who would have that privilege?

I like polls actually. A bit stupid sometimes but a nice addition. And, it keeps other vote spam down...-hint hint-...by increasing the vote-count.

I look at a vote, and if it's going to pass by a few votes, sometimes I just let it pass. So having votes that are 6-5 because of last minute votes and still failing makes for a lot more chat spam. >.<
