7 League Boots

I was gonna just pm Fern and Phil, but decided may be better in the open. [if anyone can rewrite this more concisely I'd be grateful]
The 80% / 15 mins vote make it difficult re bots off and probably affect SW votes too.
Should OZ cater to Zulu's lack of self control re hurling obscenities in response to mild K/D comments? If you can't handle the heat get out of the kitchen. He can choose how to react - isn't muting other players an option? He lets them needle him and reacts explosively which also puts him in the wrong. It might be in response, but it's disproportionate, inappropriate, and encourages more trolling
I'm fairly neutral and have some sympathy, but Zulu often expresses scorn if you disagree with him. This evening I said we should take responsibility for our actions not 'he made me do it', his reply: my IQ must be about 5 and a few other insults. F1 to putspec doesn't come from nowhere. Given Zulu's behaviour it's understandable (even reasonable) it happens now & then. If votespec gets abused, admins have dealt with it.
Re Yella - the problem is if majority enjoy sillyness and f1, then that's what people want. There is a balance ofc, but Yella's actions are fairly harmless and when he oversteps can be warned. I asked him not to vote change map when he's just arrived, and TC has kicked if he mucks around too much.
In summary:
perhaps changing voting so quick was a little hasty. Can we have 3 strikes and out or something? or maybe change it back after a week so we understand that our actions on the server can have negative results.
