Speccing like that only really gets to be a problem when the server is full Mick, ie taking up spaces when people want to be in, but i agree sometimes you wonder what they are up to.

for some reason thats all he's been doing , not playing at all, I have kicked him a few times when the server was or almost full, Sometimes he just logs back on, but still doesn't play, I just kick him again. Maybe just downloading the maps

As I said: It is strange. Don't know what he's doong there. Round about 150 h connected, ~2200 Score.

 

My ideas

 

1: he is spectating and thinks he is playing :D

2: He's only taking ingame vids (own Youtube Channel, but no vids accessible (78 views)

3: tries to hack?

 

Just ideas ^_^

Just two xfire friends in 7 years. WTF?

 

Good job Larsin :-)

I will put my 2 cents about people spectating.....1 thing to look for from a Admins point is Ip addy (is any other in game close ) if so or not next u can guess he maybe in a chat with someone in game nd giving directions as to where people are....

 

Seen this many times on Cod2

I saw him just on the Ace. I think it is pointless in this mod as it is no tactical game - run 'n gun. I've seen such guys on Counter Strike and other TDM games too - it sucks.

And on the ace server is no other player i don't know and who maybe has advantages.

 

How ever, it is strange... and he blocks a slot when the server is full

Just an idea:

 

What about an idle kick after 10 minutes? On several Counter Strike Source servers idle players get kicked

and temp banned for two days after 3 idle kicks within 24 hours. (IP and Steam-ID)

We had that on our last freezetag mod, it worked great only problem was it was way too short 150 seconds, i think 5 minutes is long enough for most people to nip to the toilet answer the door/phone or make a cup of tea/coffee.
