0003166: Disable Skulltag maps from being votable
Voting a CTF or any other Skulltag stock map will cause the current server to change it's settings. These maps will force a server's dmflags and gamemode to change by force when voted, and ruin a server. This is a potential exploit and can ruin services such as TSPG. Disable these maps from being votable (but still let people vote maps in the maplist for that matter) somehow. Maybe a new server flag?
No tags attached.

Yeah you can avoid this by using the maplist. The Skulltag maps aren't even stock anyway but must be loaded separately so there's no basis to give them special treatment. Which means that your server is loading some maps that cause side effects and you don't want those maps to be votable, which is what the maplist accomplishes.

Not to mention that the engine arbitrarily deciding what custom maps should be votable and what is not would be a pretty bad idea overall.
