NigeyS 16 Posted June 25, 2012 So where do we stand with idle players in the lobby? i've seen players idle for 6, 7, 8 hours in order to keep their slot on LU15, do we leave them to it, kick them, what ? pretty obvious theyre just causing a bottleneck if theyre not actively playing the game.

howichrgelazer 69 Posted June 25, 2012 People who run BEC lets it kick idle users. Usually after 3-5 minutes of sitting in the lobby (this value can be changed to whatever suits the server, but the minimum time is 180 seconds). So I don't see the problem in manually kicking idlers after 5-10 minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrispowdrill@yahoo.co.uk 10 Posted June 25, 2012 I remove players that sit in the lobby for more than 5 mins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrispowdrill@yahoo.co.uk 10 Posted June 25, 2012 Ive noticed it aswell and its not fair on other players wanting to join but they cant because 5 or more slots are taken up by people just sitting in the lobby for x amount of time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you have people doing it for hours and hours like that then they're taking the piss tbh. Good idea to ask the devs though but I shouldn't think anyone would mind if you kick them, people only raise a stink if you kick people from the game for a stupid reason but they're not even in the game technically in this case, they're just taking up server space that would be put to better use by an active player.Just be sure to list the reason they were kicked so they don't come and make a thread to bitch you out here lol.
