Back on XUO maka made this system where you would get a voting gump every 20 minutes (I think it was that often) and if you voted it would go away until you were able to vote again. If you closed it without voting there were no penalties, but you would keep getting it every 20 minutes. I don't remember this interfering with crafts, maybe it was because I used to macro with delays instead of wait for gump though...
I also don't remember if this stopped because it was against voting site rules. Maybe something like this could be looked into?
Or maybe a gump that can be issued to players manually by staff could be added so after a tour a GM can send it to everyone and get them to vote, or maybe send it when everyone joined a team and then wait 5 minutes for everyone to vote before continuing with the tour...
You have to be careful with this kinda thing though because it might just annoy new players enough to make them leave. What do they care about leaving a shard they've invested 2 days time in...
