Hello ButterlyFly.
I am not here to judge anyone or anything at this moment, because I don't know the full situation.
I try to understand both sides.
- When a player is afk, there can be a good reason. A kick seems unfair then.
- When a player is AFK in spawn and block 20 players who can't get out that's also frustrating.
Then about TM members AFK, and I will only speak for myself.
As a TM member, I can look AFK when I play, there is also a reason for that. Its because a player is misbehaving and I am looking into his history. I always try to get in a corner so I don't block other players. So I seem AFK, but I am besides an admin, also a player and I can't always go spec when some one is misbehaving, or a player is acused by 1 of the 40 players of misbeheaviour.
About the server who will automaticly put you spec. That is a backup system when no admin there to put spec. Especialy in the first 30 sec of a map, when 3 or 4 players AFK, I overrule this and put all AFK's spec in first 10 sec. Otherwise a map can already be lost in the first minute. Also when players block in spawn I will put them spec.
As said before, I don't know the situation and what happende before, so don't ask me to judge on anybody at this point.
All I can ask for now is a little understanding from everybody.
