Title: Idle Kicker for Public

Some people laugh at Dark Sonic, but thanks to Dark Sonic I believe this one plugin can actually work and be in use on public server.
Since re-direct directs players to public or deathmatch if DD2 is full, there are often a lot of unneeded spectators and even I have had hard time to get in the server to ban a cheater because it's full and 5-6 are spectators since public's been nicely boosted.

So as it goes the idle kick plugin only works if someone wants to connect to the server, it will automatically search for most idlest person in the server (if there is any) and kick them to free the spot for the player who want's to join.
In this way admins don't have to kick spectators to free slot space.

Support for this plugin, some people take slots in the spec for no reason, while no admin online.

I just see one problem with this, when ther is no admin ppl record demo's for report a player section, with this plugin they will be kicked while demoing. I assume admins are excluded with this plugin, otherwise I see 2 problems

Players shouldn't need to record a demo and mostly if that happens then that's only at late nights when players are not as many.
It will only kick them if the serve appears full. Although it might help if you are spectating and keep clickling with mouse, it might not classify you as idle then. Not sure about this part.

There can be problems with it, for example if no admins are online and one guy sits in spec recording "noob hacker", later gets kicked for no reason and therefore cant connect to server anymore...

If this plug in kicks players ONLY when the server is FULL , I give my support, otherwise it may kick players demoing. :)

Yes Popay, if the server is full it will find the idle players and kick them.
As I said before I don't know whether the plugin thinks that you are idle if you are recording someone, regardless that is admins job and we need more admins on public. Public players shouldn't need to do that.

Your suggestion will be reviewed from the high staff once it is known whether plug-in recognizes people recording or not.

Well it needs a lot of testing and need to make sure the immunity flags make it impossible for server to kick admins.

I don't think this will be needed, YET. When the time comes I will test it on public.
