Penalty for failing commander poll

[San]

3 hour penalty for failing the commander poll. You won't be able to initiate a poll again until the time is up.


This sounds simple enough and it won't spam the server. Increasing penalties and the like also sound nice, but the above is simple and effective.

I had a 24 hour penalty at first and reduced it. Do people like 24 hours better?

I wouldn't say it should be a timed thing, more like per map/battle in strategus for each person if it's possible to implement. There should definitely be some kind of system to prevent abuse though.

A 3 hour penalty may be a little harsh. I would recommend it to last only for the map (possibly the next one too) because a new map means new teams which may be more receptive to a different commander. Although there are some people who I believe should lose the ability to elect themselves as commander (such as the known poll spammers).

The strategus battle poll spam annoyed me most, especially since a menu pops up too that you have to get rid of.

If it's not timed and can be done for a map, that'd be great. Only put 3 hours because of strat battle duration.

Edit: It's harsh, but no mercy!

You should really be able to set commander ahead of time for Strategus.  So far it is only used for trolling.  Which is fun.

Would be better for Stategus if high rank(8-10) clan members would have commander chat ability by default.

[Mala]

ohh, and an option to mute the commander would be quite helpfull.

NO

It would be very useful if the army owner could assign a commander on the roster webpage. Just an extra checkbox next to the one you hire the player with.

3 hours is a bit much - 30 minutes sounds reasonable. It still gives a break from failing but not an excessively harsh one, like if a well meaning guy in DTV wants to be commander to inform of where a bot is but not everyone knew so they didn't all press 1 (has happened many times before).
