Completed Kicking idle spectators

[Mrsolaja]

Sometime the most active servers are full but majority of the time there are a few idle players, I was wondering if removing idle players could be implemented into the servers such as a half an hour waiting time before they are kicked, that is after they have been switched onto spectator of course, just so that players that actually want to join the server can instantly play rather than having to wait for an empty spot. I have seen a few individuals be idle for over 24 hours so just wondering if this minor feature could be applied.

I think it might be better to only kick once the server is actually full but some implementation of a system like this would definitely be good.

please

edit: Just to add a little, this would really help with staff being able to respond to calls

I say no on this, especially with team balancing if you get auto'ed if a AFK gets kicked, its going to lead to some controversy with it.

AFKs already get moved to spectator relatively quick.
The problem is that spectators take up player slots and don't get kicked even after a long time, meaning if the server is full more people can't join.

Well I'd play a 12 v 12 with unfair teams rather than the server be half full with afk people and by the time I see someone their already dead, since players need to find something to do.

Yeah I don't know how long you can stay in active for, the highest I've seen is 24 hour

Yeah, it's ridiculous.

They need to touch grass then.

Aw also another idea came to mind maybe add like a hive 365 bot to listen to music even tho you can do so with shift tab then going onto Google

I don't understand your point. Getting kicked for being idle isn't anything new, there will be literally zero controversy. Kicking those who have been in spectator for a while honestly has no downsides imo; it doesn't effect balance at all.

Thank you for the suggestion. I'll keep this thread under review. We will have an internal discussion regarding this matter and a higher representative will inform you on the decision made. Have a good one!

I'll add a plugin soon and we'll have to see how it functions. If players generally hate it then we'll remove it for good.
