And if you want to 'relax' after a match, simply spectate or skip a round. No one says you have to play x matches in a row xD.

The owner of the server is the one who decides what should happen. And what if the owner is absent? You can vote until Judgment Day but nobody will be able to do shit because the one in charge, the one wielding admin powers, just happens to be doing something else. Okay, a moderator might do too, but still. Democracy in JJ2? Come on, He who controls the server is the absolute and only ruler. No opposition, no voting, no power for the masses. And even if there's a voting going on, the owner is allowed and fully capable to deny said voting.
As I said, the sudden blackout is an awful ending of a game. You don't even have the time to see who won or see if you're in the top players. Lots of games have a multiplayer results screen after the game ended, Team Fortress 2 as an example. There's literally no satisfaction if you won the game and the screen suddenly becomes black and a new round starts automatically.

What if the owner is busy? The players are the ones who enjoy the map, not the owner. Voting should really be a thing. If the majority agrees, it must happen! "He who controls the server is the absolute and only ruler." Well if he wants us to play bad maps or get constantly killed by a hacker, we can simply change the server! Once again, this is a thing in TF2. Just because we're regular players that doesn't mean we don't have the right to make the server as confortable as possible. Of course, if this would be added, the owner still has the right to decide if he will enable voting or not. We're the players, we decide what map to play or who to stay on the server. This would also mean that I'll get kicked oftenly.

To add something to the voting idea, the server should be able to vote only if there are more than 6-8 players. No splitscreen votes, one vote for each person. If a player is being kicked, he won't be able to join the server for a short time, like a hour or something.

...ugh, it's just me or JCF didn't work for like an hour?...
