When the rotation gets to maps like donner and flash mostly non-members complain & ask for an admin to change the map because many players don't like the old traditional maps. Personally, I don't mind them & am inclined to let them play out.
If we're not going to have rtv, then I don't think we should be frivolously changing maps on a whim. If, as admins, we change the map, it should be by majority request & we don't have the time to be asking each & every player if they would like a map change. That's why rtv was developed, but since we're not going to be using it, we should let all maps play out under normal circumstances. When I'm the only admin on, AND, there are a large number of players on, I won't change it, but sometimes another admin will during that time if there's one on. If I'm playing with, say, 3 or 4 players on each team & one of them requests a map change I will usually accommodate them provided no one present complains.
We need to set some guidelines on doing this otherwise it'll end up being nothing but a map rotation free-for-all.
