Spectator / AFK Policy Empty Spectator / AFK Policy

Post by obituary Thu Jul 14, 2011 1:04 pm

If you are an admin, please wait several minutes before moving a player to spectator if they are AFK. Some people get upset if they are moved to spec, especially if they are on a server with team balance and restricted weapons. It is better to leave someone standing there for a while than to put them in spec promptly and annoy them.

On FUNBOY (BEGINNER), having players AFK (away from keyboard) is not a big deal either way. The teams and weapons are not restricted, so people can rejoin the way they were before. So the players should not have as much to complain about if they get put to spec while they were gone for five minutes. Also, there are more omnibots to pick up the slack from an inactive teammate, so it does not matter as much. However, It looks dumb to see several people standing in spawn, not moving, so eventually admins should use !put playername spec and fix that situation.

If you are a player and you need to go, type "brb" so we know you will be right back. If you are going to be gone for a few minutes then go to spectator mode so people will know that you are not there.

A spectator does not have to do anything, players can sit in spec without being present in the game, unless there are many other players and the server is nearly full (lol). This helps prevent that Jaymod score bug where the scores do not display properly unless six players are connected to the server. Having clan members in spec helps reduce the temptation for aimbotters. A botter does not know if you are watching the server or not.
