Well what you wanna do then? Zenk has a good point about the slot being wasted because an admin is AFKing in the spec zone.

And yeah xFerior, Mr Teas idling doesn't apply to the thread you mentioned.

Also Bison, that was when the servers were first setup, and I am guessing you had less admins back then and no SMAC?

I dunno, times have changed a little, and it's not really necessary for an admin to be AFK in the spectate group whilst the server is busy and players are trying to connect.
