Note on /vote: the Server Info Commands mod also registers /vote (a link to your voting site). If you run both, rename this one, for example voteCommand=pollvote, or disable that mod's with vote.enabled=false. Settings are read at startup; a change needs a restart.
Install: drop the jar into the server's mods/ folder and restart. Licence: MIT.
Need something custom? I build small server plugins to order from $15 (fixes) and $29 (a new one-feature plugin): actuallyop.com/services. More free tools: actuallyop.com.
