I've seen regulars accuse legitimate players of cheating and set off a chain of votebans. If it weren't for the voteban ratio being what it is, then they'd have gotten the user banned. They were literally 1-2 votes off and the server was completely full. People are far too willing to ban others... If someone has a high kpd ratio then they'll probably get a bunch of players trying to voteban them eventually. The ban train typically starts with a newbie saying, "voteban him!", then the other newbs typically do, and the smarter players will generally ask, "why?", followed by the typical response, "he wallhax!!11". Unfortunately, both the voteban happy players and the smarter players will inevitably go ahead and voteban the accused since they like to jump on the voteban train once it gets started. :-X

However, regarding the votemute... I could perhaps make it only count votes from players on your team, which will make it considerably easier to get the user muted (far fewer total players *teammates counted only*).
