The issue:
* Mr. Tea being AFK in Spectator while server is full and 3+ reserved slots in the server.
Why this is an issue:
* Players are turned down from joining the server.
* One team will always have a numbers advantage since Mr. Tea will be AFK in Spectator.
What is not the issue:
* Mr. Tea in Spectator at any time the server is not full.
* Mr. Tea in Spectator, not AFK, while the server is full and able to receive Steam Friends messages to possibly leave the server to make room.
* Mr. Tea in Spectator, not AFK, while the server is full and recording a demo of potential cheaters or disruptive players.
From what I've experienced, Mr. Tea leaves his computer on over night while he's asleep. Note that he cannot check CS:S for hackers while he's asleep. Also note that the #4 server, the one I see him in Spectator the most, is full during a large portion of this time.
I appreciate Mr. Tea's effort in catching the (undisclosed amount of) regulars cheating. However, his method, although not completely, is in conflict with the issue at hand.
