If most of the players dont like a map in rotation and would rather leave to another server until the current map is done, wouldnt it make sense to allow an XI member callvote to change map rather than have players leave the server ? Can the admin please let me know if there is validity to the claim to not callvote by xi members please. Owens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of more concern is why the vote if a map is so bad please post it somebody will do something about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Some players like them or dont mind them and still want to play them but the majority will vote to rotate to next map or a specific map. My question was, Is calling a vote for a different map or a specific map that the majority of people agree to play acceptable. Will I get in trouble for calling a vote to change the map when others ask me to change the map. Mind you, I dont just callvote on every map I personally dont like, as not everyone cares to run and gun, and some like sniper sort of maps. I just want to know if there is a specific rule that does NOT allow me to be able to call a vote. I would think that if a map starts that most of the players dont care for, that we would be allowed to callvote a different map to keep the server population up.

They are on top of things and listen to both member and guest feedback <<which I appreciate. IMHO, the system of using the ADM's for server management works and is the best way to address any issue. Calling for votes can grow like a cancer and get out of control. Voting to bypass is only a temporary fix until the map cycles again, having an ADM remove it from rotation is a permanent fix.

If you want them out tell me.
