I have several TTT servers and get many many complaints from players about people spamming one voteban after another when a vote fails. This happens when an admin isn't on the server and, yes, I do have a rule on the motd that this isn't allowed. It disrupts the game and causes players to quit. Also, trolls get on and proceed to do one voteban after another. My question is - how can I add to the vote.lua file to limit the time between votebans from any single player? For example, I want any one player to be able to do a voteban only every 4 minutes. I'm sorry, I am not a lua coder and don't know where to start!

I had thought that we already had timers, though maybe I'm thinking of votemap. Regardless, this is something I'd like to officially support, so I created a ticket for it (https://github.com/Nayruden/Ulysses/issues/219).

Thank you so much for putting a ticket in! How/where can I check to see when/if this might be completed?

It will be completed when you get a new update for ULX probably ^^ :D

When this ticket says 'closed', you should be able to get latest code from github.

Thanks so much! And no the timer right now is for votemap only.
-
I really hope this can be worked into the next update. About half my bans (5 ttt servers) are done due to excessive voteban spamming. One person did 32 votes in a row. I have thought about disabling the function but it is incredibly useful when not spammed.
-
Hi is there any status on this work? I think I may have to disable voteban because the spamming is unbelievable! But the tool is really vital on my servers!
-
iam also curious if vote timers is in the works
-
Yes the Ulysses team has kindly agreed to fix this problem a few months ago. I have many Gmod servers and people literally take over the game with the spamming. Though it is in my rules not to, 1) trolls spam 2) players frustrated with the outcome of votes just keep voting until people vote yes. Next to RDM, it is the number one problem on my servers.
-
Just a question for the Ulysses team. I believe this issue is still outstanding and has not been worked into the last ULX release? Is that correct? I just want to be sure I am not missing something I need to change in a config file. Thanks!

Quote obviously still open -

It's more than just a single fix to that one item, it's an overhaul, so, no, it wasn't included in latest release.

I have eight GMod servers running ULX/ULIB and I rely heavily on these incredible addons. I have hundreds of players going through the servers and I have easily over a hundred bans for people spamming votebans and basically crippling a server. I know the team has kindly agreed to put a timer in for the voteban module and that this is a huge fix, not an easy one. So my question is, would there be a bit of code or anything that I could use just to tide my servers over until the fix is done? Something not perfect but moderately effective? I don't want to disable the function and let the trolls run wild, leaving players no way to get them off the server.
