I was recently banned by cmpx yesterday for poll-banning enemy team in a strategus fight. I have never previously poll banned during a straetgus fight. The circumstances were unusual to say the elast. None of the strategus battles are actually working. We show up for the battles and it never initiates so both sides essentially do a staring contest to see who leaves first. My team was kicked/banned in a neutral castle defense battle shortly before this one involving the grey order. However, under the circumstance I made no complaint because after an hour it was the only way to end the fight that never was.
What the Grey order members failed to mention was that an hour had already passed in this staring contest (much like if 1 person on enemy team who refuses to spawn and so can never end fight) and both sides were promising never to leave the server. No admins were coming, pre-dawn hours in the EU. Under most circumstances I would never do poll-ban eneemy team in strategus battle, but under the circumstances it was the only reasonable move to prevent the wasting of hours of both mine and my teammates' lives to no effect.
The strategus battles are currently broken and under this particualr situation I do not consider it fair to be banned for a month by cmpx.
