Spectating on the server.

1* Secret

DG | Member
Can something be done about people getting on the servers and just spectating for hours/days on end? They're not playing. They're not even actually spectating. They just put their character on the spectator box and walk away. This ties up the server for days and no one can change maps.

o gotcha, yeah im sure we can take care of it, we left it off for a while when things were slow cuz it actually helped other new players connect to the server, and since it was slow it wasnt much a problem

but if it is we can set the spectate limit or just keep an eye out for ppl doing it intentionally, i checked when i saw your msg sunday morning and found a spec'er

there we go, i found a nice easy and simple AFK manager plugin for CSS, so ill see how it works here in the morning sometime when most players are not playing

and ill set the timer for 15 or 20 min so that way you can take a piss or grab a drink and its fine, but too long and you will have to reconnect to the server, or worst case wait 20 min till someone AFK gets kicked

if anyone is purposely trying to sit AFK and stop ppl from changing maps then let us know, and i can make a ban report or ill see them doing it sometime

I've also noticed when people are on playing mode (on ct), but still afk they don't get kicked out. they just stay. Similar to spectate except they get the 5 credits.

Yeah, I was playing on the map and he was afk for awhile. I couldn’t change the map until someone else joined.

k there we go, the AFK manager for CSS should be good to go, thanks comrades

but let us know if something doesnt seem to work right in certain situations, it should move players after 2 min and kick after another 2
