Please, get rid of the replay spam. Who cares who voted or changed their minds on a replay. I rather see the after goal chat that gets missed in all the replay spam. The old replay count was ok - it let players know what the majority wants. If they want to go with the flow, they click. If they want to see it, they don't.
I see people getting bashed if the want to see a replay and don't click. With the counter, it's wasn't personal. Now it's becoming so, because some bad apples now know who didn't click.
Newbies may want to learn off a replay. Let them learn wihout being double bashed for not clicking.

Skip the replay when 50% vote for it not 100%, lets have democracy in DB instead of some silly system where everyone has to vote for something.

Some replays I want to see, so I don't mind the 100%. It works good for learning players. If for example, a new player doesn't understand how they got beat - they may want to see it so they can learn from it. If you go with majority, make it least overwhemming 75- 80%. Otherwise, the little guy won't stand much of a chance.
It seem, the more skilled a player, the less they want to see replays. Since I view replays as a learning tool, I think the 100% is benificial to deathball even though some, even if it's the majority, don't like them. I think 50% majority would mean very few replays ever, and that equals frustrated players who can't view and thus understand how they are getting beat. For replays, I think the few or one, outway the many.
Since the one wins , I feel free to vote. If it was majority, I wouldn't ever vote to skip unless the server was filled with skilled vets. There is too much skill diffference and the ratio of skilled to unskilled is too high.
