auto afk kicker

Post by Sankoose120 »

Most of the servers on tf2 we have are almost always full and there is always 1 or more people who are afk. I am not sure if this can be done or not but adding some sort of plugin to automatically kick afkers from the game. Obviously this will only be for servers other than idle. I feel this would be nice as waiting to join a server is always annoying and it would be much better to auto kick them if no admin is on at the time.

There is an AFK kicker on the VSH server, which is quite annoying, because when your dead, it takes you as being AFK so after a short time it kicks you

hmm maybe it should just move you to spectate so when an admin joins they can kick them

I thought we talked about this a few months ago. But oh well, I think it is good to start this again, because this is important.

But I agree and I disagree with this.

Reason agree:

I think it is even more annoying if you have to kick everyone after a few minutes that still isn't gone out of the spawn. It takes a lot of time which you can spend on killing the hale. Also if you want to kick the AFK's you also get killed, because some guys run straight to the spawn, and if you are in a close range, they will find and kill you. I slowly get annoyed to kick the AFK's if you only want to kick them.

Reason disagree:
Kicking AFK's depends on how you kick the AFK's. If you kick them without calling on the mic, they come back and say like: "Hey! I was trading! :crazy: :problem:". You are not going to warn the guy that is AFK over the mic, if you don't have to watch it anymore. It also depends on how long you make this auto AFK kicker. Do you make it like 5 minutes (around 1 round) or 10 minutes (2 rounds) or even just 2 minutes (half round)? I think that 10 minutes is fair enough.

Well the plugin on JailBreak moves all people who have died without moving for around 1 minute of the round and as this just moves them to spectate you can maybe wait a round and then kick them if no action is taken from them to join in

I don't really think we should remove the AFK kicker, but I would like it if the time it took to be kicked was expanded. A lot of the time I'll be spectating one player to make sure he isn't going to break a rule, and I get kicked because of it.

We even can not go in spectate. This means that we have to kick people straight away instead of going to spectate and kick them. Only admins (and cheaters who know how to join team spectate) can go in spectate.
