I wanted to make a community post in hopes that this makes a difference towards the corrupt system of Votebans
The voteban system needs to be either removed entirely or at the very least restricted. I do not think this is a controversial take after seeing the outcry between several players within the game due to false bans. I have been personally targeted by these false bans when the player
"Exodium (STEAM_0:0:205319780)" votebanned me 4 days ago for the reason " (Massive queer votebanning innocent people) " after i had votebanned one of his assumed friends which was mass rdming people including myself while no staff were on. Now this is not a ban appeal but instead an example i am using to justify my point. another prime example was when the admin "TurkeyJuiceX STEAM_0:0:116421847" was banned on JAN 27th for being afk while being the only staff online at the time.
While I do understand votebans exist to help players defend themselvs when no admins are online. This should be enough evidence by itself to show that this system is way too easily accessible and that it needs to change. A possible change that could be made that would'nt require the system to be outright removed is by restricting the ability to create votebans perhaps limiting it to players who have a certain number of Hours/ Levels in the server could be a possible way. Overall, votebans as they stand in the game now are doing more harm then good to the community and server and must either be restricted or completely removed until a new system is in place.
