Meh... the whole keeping track of voting and giving "strikes" for, essentially, being inactive feels wrong somehow.

Just for curiosity's sake, how long do the votes last? 1 day? 7 days? 4.5 turns? If a vote only lasts two days, then that's way too short, and essentially requires people to log in frequently. At that point you could strategically call votes on the weekends or when you know a player is typically inactive to trap them.

A character should, in general terms, be able to log in and play once every few days. It doesn't seem right that you're automatically putting them in some group they didn't necessarily ask to be in, and then requiring them to put in extra time and effort to stay there or get blackmarked and kicked out.

I dunno. I can see opposite sides of this, and I'm not really sure which way I lean. The whole keeping track and three-strikes thing does raise my hackles, though.
If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.
