When I and other refs on our server try and access the ref menu in game we enter the ref password, hit the escape key, then select the referee menu item,but, after that the vote menu is visible but when I try and use any command it tells me that vote is blocked 300 seconds after map start. in our silent.cfg the vote settings are
