i think we should have a auto team balence command to even out the team

This is just me, but I don't see where this is needed. Actually, we have too many people that are a little anal about the teams being balanced. Too many times when one person leaves the server and there is a one or two person imbalance, they start yelling to even the teams, many times it's an eG that won't switch teams to balance the teams himself/herself. Very rarely have I seen the teams be unbalanced more than 5 or six minutes. Usually if you just wait a couple of minutes, they balance themselves out. Yes, every once in a while, when all that planets line up correctly, a server may go almost 10 minutes before the teams balance themselves, but that is rare.

But hey, since there is such an influx of new people playing our servers and it's difficult to get on the DOD servers now, maybe they will start up a couple of more servers to play on. That or convert the sniper server, which is not that popular anymore, into a new map or a rotation server.

This should probably be in the private sector first off..

Secondly, that is what admins are there for. If they feel the teams need balancing, they'll act on it and make the moves if necessary.

All a script would do is use up more resources that can be put towards keeping the server functioning properly.

"many times it's an eG that won't switch teams to balance the teams himself/herself."

There is also the possibility that, say there's two admins on, one on each team, they shouldn't join one team because we should have at least one admin on each team so we can monitor the team chats.

At least, this is what I am assuming is going on, since I've had eG/O's decline switching teams and used that reasoning or a variation of it.

johnT once told me once that balancing teams manually isn't necesary as
they will do so automaticly as more people join the server

atleast i think it was JohnT might have been Kamikaze Tommy, but im sure it was one of them

Our policy is to not balance the teams; they will even themselves out, given time.

We never move players from team to team, only to spectator. Autobalancing is in practice EXTREMELY difficult; Agent86 has done a lot of work with it in TF2, but there are many complex factors that come into play. Just for DoD alone, you would likely need to consider K/D ratio, flag caps, teamwork (difficult), general accuracy/skill...the list goes on and on.

The rule is that if a team difference is greater than three, you should ask players to change teams and even it out. However, we would hope that eGO members (e's in particular) would take this upon themselves, ideally while maintaining admin coverage on each team.
