These two options should be added to the game.. there are people idling forever and i see cheaters more and more lately.. so the votekick option should also be added... more or less all games have it
DAK admin mod and ns2stats both support afk-kick, such decisions should really be left up to server admins anyhow. For example, there's no point kicking idlers from a server that has a bunch of slots free, since the AFK people are actually beneficial in that case (help attract people because the server looks more full).
I think an idle afk kick would be nice at least from a core server-side POV.
By default 5min afk in RR earns an afk kick, with an excemption list, perhaps if they're listed in admins json file.
Anything else more complex would be better managed from a MOD. I say this partly for the whitelist component, while yes, can be bypassed, isn't (I feel) the best way.
What should be on any server is "move idle player to readyroom", beginning after 1 to 2 minutes.... I lost too many games because half my team was afk and that sucks. When they are idling in the readyroom, I don't care because the enemy team will have the same player count alive as my team.
