A slight annoyance

    Several players seem to just remain in spectator mode while they are afk, filling up the server, without actually playing, and stopping others from joining. I'm not naming names, because I don't want to single people out, but there are several people who are clearly afk, some for several hours. Can we get some sort of auto kick for these people? Even if it is as long as a 20 minute afk.

    Minor annoyance, but an annoyance nonetheless.

    Only admins are not being kicked by that

    When I'm spectating to fill the server I'm usually getting some groceries of watching tv downstairs. In these cases the server might fill up before you're back. No admin will deliberately take spots in spectator mode, it's always a case of "I hadn't realised it was full" or "I honestly wasn't there". The AFK kicker used to target admins as well, not sure why it doesn't anymore.

    Because it does exactly what its supposed to. Remove admins that are in spectator from the server if they dont switch targets or stuff like that.

    You get the picture.

    well i got complaints about admins wanting to be spec while the server is full, if they want to check out a cheater.. but i think i will just remove that.

    The way we had it before is that if the server has 20 people on it, it will start kicking spectators (regardless if its a normal user or an admin) i will set it like this again. If i can find it 1.2.3. this was the best sollution always for me. I should have this config still on the old servers data :p
