To allow players to remove problem players from a server when an admin is not around, the game provides a poll system. Generally this is restricted to registered users only to limit abuse. To start a poll, there must be a minimum number of players that are able to vote. By default, 3 players (counting the one starting the poll) must be able to vote for a poll to be started. The default poll duration is 60 seconds, and the default percentage of "yes" votes required to pass the poll is 50.1%. Additionally, by default, an individual player is only able to run a poll once every 5 minutes.
The built-in poll types are flagreset, kill, kick, and ban. The kill, kick, and ban poll types all require that a player callsign is specified. As of BZFlag 2.4.10, the server can also add additional poll types through the use of plugins. The servers running such plugins would need to provide their own instructions for use. Here are some examples of the built-in poll types.
Flag Reset
Syntax: /poll <flagreset>
This would start a poll to reset all the flags on the map.
Kill
Syntax: /poll kill <SomePlayer>
This would start a poll to kill SomePlayer.
Kick a Player
Syntax: /poll kick <SomePlayer>
This would start a poll to kick SomePlayer from the server.
Ban a Player
Syntax: /poll ban <SomePlayer>
This would start a poll to ban SomePlayer from the server. The ban duration by default is 5 hours.
