master vs. many votechess debacles...what to do?

Sort:
DiogenesDue

Anyone that have been participating in the master vs. many votechess games lately knows that these games are being bungled badly. 

Chess.com should institute a new rule.  A new variant of votechess.  Call it Survivor Votechess or something...

Everybody that votes for a move other than the winning move is kicked off the team every move.  This would winnow down the team to people that will pay attention and reach a consensus very quickly, and if drive-by voters ruin a game with a bad move winning the vote, all the good players will be kicked off the team and not be tempted to waste their time trying the right the ship ;).  Then the bad teams will lose much faster and new games will be started.  People will learn their lessons faster.  Everybody wins.

Added benefit:  the dweebs that think they are funny always voting for resign every move will be kicked on move 1 and you will not see them again ;).

I am only half-joking here.
