Reserved Slots?

As the server is getting pretty full lately, it might be good to implement reserved slots, whereby if a regular joins then it will auto kick a spectator? And after that, guess it kicks a person with the lowest score? I know it's a bit harsh, but I'm impatient!

I think we're covered this area before, fester runs a bizzarely fair server :)

Still, kicking specs is usually done when the server is busy.

Ah, ok, was just wondering :P
I didn't really see a fair/practical way of implementing it either.

Hm, how about a command that can be implemented?
A spectator has to say '!spec' or something,
not to get autokicked by 5 minutes?
Not that I care, I can wait. :)

great minds think alike jonny,a wise man said to me that it might be a good idea to put up a password,available to forum members,for the fri mashup,then u wouldnt get passers by taking up slots and the forum would gain too
just a thought ;)

well owly has a server and we could also get people on that if some way we can get people to switch between the servers by pushing say f3 to go to festers or owlys server that way we are all playing.
