Im bleeding well sick of the respawn camping that goes on (a can of worms in itself), i like the ego servers for the admin presence, and the prompt action usually, but its got to the point, that any demo class constantly will respawn camp, doing little else. I left the ego admin group for the green given by the ego's on the matter, but please, for the sanity of players that don't have an eg or ego on the server, to kick, mute, silence by vote. Not just kicking, but require a solid percentage of a team, the 50%-75% so that it can't be abused. Would that really be to much to ask?
Vote system (with reasons in the why so people can yay/nay?)

And when these votes are initiated despite there being admins on the server?
When a vote is cast against the ruling of an admin?
The most popular action in a situation is not necessarily the right one.
Edit: Not to mention the potential for spam abuse. I've played on servers with voting and the votes pop so often I end up voting one way or the other simply while trying to select a weapon. Often dying when I fail to select that weapon. No thanks.
Edit Again: And your entire point of the post seems to revolve around camping the spawn doors, which while unpopular by the whiners among us is entirely legitimate. Why would we give you the power to stop something that is allowed?
Edit, last time I swear: But the bottom line is that these servers are not democratic. They're privately owned and operated by admins who have been trained to uphold the rules/ideals of the clan. To give administrative powers to the public would defeat that purpose.

Well DCL, we can't punish people for spawn camping since its apart of the game. Spawn Camping CAN be over come by just a pair of ubers to bust through the defense.

Yup, Spawn Camping is not against the rules because it can be overcome fairly easily if you're a team player. See the above sticky on why we don't have rotating servers--voting servers are a bit better, but still subject to the same problems. All maps can be spawn camped to one degree or another.
