Okay, I seem to have missed this one. I see you a fair amount of times, but I've never seen you say in chat that someone broke your cade, and I remember I didn't because they would be punished. Any regular, in fact fuck it, PLAYER, who had their cade broken and announced it had the offender punished.

These days if someone did something stupid, all they would get is a slap on the wrist, maybe a freeze or burn, nothing more.
As it was said before, that's really not appropriate, although, I'm starting to lean a lot to this approach. Formerly I did freeze and burn for the first offense (light one), but I don't think that it's going to be that way much longer, people have to read the rules, and if they don't, be sure to be able to catch the banhammer before it hits them over the head.

As for the votes, do you refer to map votes? I always do a "Do you like the map" vote before putting up a map vote (except if the map is already ending, then I do a change-map-end-of-map-type map vote), and if the majority likes it, I'll play the map even if it's a pile of crap.

Someone else, I don't remember who, in another thread said that admins on ZM ban without evidence and shit. I'd like to point out that I either never ban or never get evidence, it's really that simple. You cannot go into spec and look for cade breakers and zteleers because it's fairly possible that you're going to miss them, but usually regulars say the truth.
