So there is a lot things wrong with voting system in current form. A lot problems actually.
1. Players tend to vote "yes" to kick people, not even knowing them. I was playing with this super helpful and quiet guy, who basically built base and was working really hard. Then he decided to expand base by demolishing part of the walls (it was really tight) and building new things over there, so probably because of that someone started vote to kick him, and obviously all new players that recently joined voted yes, not even knowing reason (nobody wrote anything on chat about him, just started vote). He was, in my opinion, the most helpful player, yet he was kicked.
Another example of random kick (or unjustified kick) is when I was doing good, building base and keeping everyone alive (winter time, and not very experienced players). But then everyone decided to leave my base and go on adventure, and all died within within 3 days. I offered to res them if they come back, but guess what they did instead - vote kicked me so they could restart the world.
My suggestions to make voting system way better than it is now:
1. Make public nicks of players that voted and started vote, this may discourage people from voting recklessly on various things.
2. Strenght of vote of one player should not equal strenght of vote of another player. Make votes have "weight" and votes of players who played a lot on the server (like 20+ days) should have way more weight. Even better system would be evaluation of player actions, like score based on distance travelled and performed actions like number of killed hostile monster, created means etc. but this would require way more work to implement.
3. Remove "regenerate" world vote completly. In the current system, you join server, work your ass off to build decent base, survive 30+ days and then some new players join and they all decide "hey let's regenerate world" without even asking for help or even trying to survive, and you are screwed big time. Last time it happened even players that played from the beggining voted to renengerate, simply becuase they couldn't survive winter. So if you can't survive winter, will you just player autumn over and over again instead of trying to learn? Today we had amazing base, yet players voted to regenerate world anyway, I assume half of votes were from players that just joined and didn't even care about anything that was built.
Regenerate world vote shouldn't even exsist. In what circumstances would you want to regenerate the world !? That should only happen when EVERYONE die, and die for real, not commit suicide.
4. Prohibit ghosts from voting. Yep, dead players should not have right to decide on anything, especially as in current system all votes are equal.. so vote of someone who spent 30+ days working hard is as strong as vote of new player in ghost form who just joined and died to darkness.
I don't even see point of playing right now and building base, because as soon as winter arrives half of players die or get replaced by new ones, they vote to refresh world..
^All of that happened on official klei servers.
