/callvote admit defeat in 1.2

As we know, many people, on many server see a vote and shove f1 as many times as they can.  This most often happens with kick votes, or mute votes, but it has begun to happen with admitdefeat votes in 1.2.  Perhaps we could only allow admitdefeat votes when you have no eggs left?  Anyone have any other ideas?

I agree to many people just spam click F1 without thinking, I have had more then one game lost because our base move attempt had been killed and someone calls /admitdefeat and everyone for some reason votes F1. it might also make sense for votes /admitdefeat votes only able to be made by players with above so many points in the game or been playing for a set amount of time. something for the Dev's to consider for sure

But admit defeat is a teamvote, so they have to hit f3.  Not quite as automatic as f1, so maybe they actually wanted to vote yes.

How about add an "I'm a retard who shouldn't be allowed to vote" vote, and everyone who hits F1 gets barred from voting forever?

I'm disappointed that people's past actions have forced me to state what should be obvious.

Very nice idea :D

I think this falls way too squarely in the realm of "social problem" to try to fix with technical means.

Well, perhaps an adminlevel with nothing but !cancelvote and authorization to cancel such votes might work. A restriction on using that to prevent votes against oneself might be useful however.

You must have missed David's suggestion.
