Admin Join Priority

[TopHatCat]

We all know player join priority is quite annoying and can get some players mad. But I think having Admin join priority would definitely help, especially when it comes to keeping a server clean and under control. From what I've found, the more players there are, the more chances for chaos there are.

I think having it where it would kick players who are afk/in spectator would be the best option. I would also suggest having a message to the player who was chosen to either accept or decline and have the server ask someone else.

I was under the impression the AFK plugin kicked spectators after they were idle and the server reached a threshold of players. We had this on the TF2 servers and Avalanche for DoD. If that isn’t the case, it should be added.

As far as I have seen, the server moves players to spectator if they are not active outside of spawn (could be anywhere in the map but no one is alive that long), and when they are moved to spectator, they can stay there as long as possible. I haven't seen anyone actually kicked for being in spectator for being afk. I don't mind if a few players just leave the game on for populating the server, but after the server is well populated past 8 players total (not counting spectators), the server shouldn't have any players sitting in spectator indefinitely.

Which specific server is this so the correct leadership can look into it?

The server has a auto kick feature for AFK players if the server is full. I believe it is on a few of the Team Fortress 2 servers.
