Couple ideas how to manage team stacking

Just something I'd tossed around in my head, since Public CTF always manages to turn into pain in the keister.

1. Team Shuffle vote:
Does exactly what it says, if there's enough (more than 60%) Yes -votes the game automatically shuffles team members (randomly or by score). This worked in Tribes 1 and I can see it working on Legions too.

2. Auto-shuffle if enough players leave within short time:
People start leaving when one side is clearly outnumbered/outplayed, which usually leads into winning side having 2-4 more players than losing side (making things even worse)... and guess how many bothers to correct this situation? Not many I wager.
So how about we shuffle automatically if some (let's say 4) people decides to ragequ- *cough* leave the game within 30 seconds? Atleast teams would stay equally numbered.

3. Forfeit match -vote option:
Is your team getting trashed badly? The game is 7 - 0 and game clock shows "Time Remaining: 20 minutes" and you're really fed up with your (lacking) team while enemy team yells "TEMZ R GUUD STFU N PLAY U NUB!"... been there done that.

How badly you'd want to get over with that lousy match? This voting option would only be displayed to your teammates and enemy team couldn't affect the voting results (that would be silly if they could affect it, right?), if more than half your team wants to end the round prematurely they can do so... and you'd get some use out of your team in process :)

Really like this idea, especially when there is one team where the scores are all 300-500 and then there's your team where you're ahead of the second guy by 400 points because he just keeps llamaing.

I like this too. Occasionally there are just teams that have all the good players, and it would be nice to shuffle that around.
