Someone (I don't know who) proposed voting by majority there.

There would be an additional access level for players: they could
vote for settings but not really set them - however if votes agree
(either unanimously or by majority - the second prevents abuse)
a vote would have the effect of a /set.

Is there any setting that must be /settable at cmdlevel, but not /voteable?
If not we can simply change the semantics of the /set command to mean
a vote when issued by a player without hack level privileges.
