Kick specs after X seconds

Hi staff,

On popular times of the server I notice there are ~15 specs on the ZM servers. They don't seem to be kicked automatically and I have to ask for an admin to kick them (he/she kicks them and it's back to 15 specs in half an hour).

The result is 50 players playing on a server that can go full blast with 64 players (because specs are taking up slots)! Could you reduce the timeout after which specs are kicked? More players = more fun :)

I suggest 3 minutes

Actually, this should only kick in when the server is full or nearly full. When server is more empty, the specs show more players on the server in the server browser, so people are encouraged to join a server with more players.

hey spaghettiCat, that's the reason why we don't want admins kicking specs, they actually make the server more popular :)

Even when it's full, players are then encouraged to join V3 or V2 instead of a full V1 or viceversa.

Anyway admins sometimes kick a couple of spectators to free up one spot or two.
