FTFY.
I'd ban you for poll abuse if it were up to me.
To be fair, it really is annoying to mute a person every single time s/he joins the server.
Don't know about pepe, but I muted someone before and they would leave and rejoin the server just to annoy me more.
And that can be as annoying as someone griefing you in any other way.
So if that was actually case the banpoll was justified.
And I guess many of us know that pepe really can be annoying on an advanced level.
