World Regen Votes Require Super-Majority


Recommended Posts

So, I'm sure most of you have run into this issue of people joining and resetting a server either after they die or immediately when they join.  Many of them don't even try to survive the winter or summer that they've just joined into, they just go straight to the vote, because hey, there's no repercussion and the worst that happens is that they can continue spamming the vote anyway.  A lot of them go on to leave the server after dying after the reset anyway.  What I want to suggest is that world regen votes require more than a simple majority to pass.  Probably either 75% or all but one of the players would have to vote yes.  It is a vote that affects every player on the server after all.

I've seen a lot of suggestions for adjusting the voting system in general which I think are reasonable (things like weighting votes, etc.) but I feel like this would be a simple and relatively easy to implement way to start and help safeguard against probably the biggest method of trolling that people are currently using.

Currently, can you actually vote to reset the server at all?  I could have sworn that you can only vote to kick players.  Which, mind you, said vote to kick is a majority vote from what I understand (I've seen it fail even though more people voted yes).  Given that on average a server runs for around 10-12 hours (by my estimate) on a single world, I don't think there is really a need to offer a vote reset.  It is quite easy to reset the world by dying if you are the last person in the world.  This assumes survival play, of course (as it seems to be the standard), but on other forms of play, the intention is to NOT reset the world (which is why they are not playing survival) and as such this should be limited to the server host to decide when to reset.
