!vote... let me try to explain.  LOL... say when you talk to someone to type a message on the server... so in this case I have my keyboard key set as &quot;t&quot; to type a message to a player.  A lot of servers will allow you to type in !vote and the vote menu will come up.  Or... if you have a vote key set... mine is ~ ... then I just hit this key to get the  vote menu to come up.  A lot of noobs are use to just doing !vote... so this is why I see this as an importance.  They get confused with they come over to {dFb} and can't switch the map if nobody is there... or if one or two are there then we have to wait for the countdown instead of everyone voting.  That is that.  

Originally I was discussing to have an on join menu appear when u joined the server that explained this.  I think if we just set it up that way it will be fine.  The on join menu will slow you down on the first map you enter and kinda pisses people off.  

You are right, people are dicks and you can't make everyone happy (the majority is who matters for server traffic, and that is noobs).  I think with the spawn protection change and the vote key alone will attract more individuals.  Playing on the server is absolutely important.  I know I am one that will go over to TKK and play to get the tags out there.  I have started switching back to {dFb} after a few matches just so they might  get curious.  

Hope that might of explained it... lol
