Is This Script Possible, Nay Probable?

There is a trend that has started up in the past 2 months, server admins are using reserved slots to allow skilled players to join while always keeping their servers full. It would be very useful to have a script of some kind (perhaps amx? or a mod for AM or metamod?)
A list of wonids/steamids, whenever someone joins it kicks someone who is not on the list, however if everyone on the server is on the list no one could join, this is what I'm trying to get around here, the script would kick the lowest person on the list, thus whoever is closest to the top of the list would have the highest precedence and kick anyone lower (for instance so the server owner could get in, or clan members). Another way would be to have set groups of precedence, lets say 3 groups, you could put clan members and server operators in the highest group, server regulars in the 2nd group and anyone else that is on the list in the 3rd group.
So first, has anyone made something like this already? and if not how hard would it be to make?

If the server is full of immune people I believe AM would halt and not kick. But, IIRC, AM would permit someone to join into the extra slot.

Yes, pretty much what he said.
Elite players more often then not <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
yah for C++
He didn't want to discuss who is elite or not here, he can choose that for himself, he was just looking for a mod for adminmod or amx.
GG FOR GOING OFF-TOPIC!!
Ok back on topic.
Lux, I would try requesting it on <a href='http://modns.org' target='_blank'>http://modns.org</a>
Unfortunately there is a bug atm where an admin joining will kick ANY highest pinger, so I sometimes find that I'll get kicked from a server when an admin joins, and then as soon as I rejoin a non-slot holder gets kicked to make way for me.
Basically the end result is that a non-slot holder gets kicked ANYWAY, but I simply lose all my equipment/upgrades and get frustrated D:
Thats so stupid. How can you become a reg if you get kicked 24/7
....
You make it sound like people that can aim don't use teamwork, or the only people that use teamwork are people that can't aim.
Yes I would rather have someone that can own it up on their own on my team, then a group of 4 guys that are working as a team and can't attack or defend anything.
Yes, but that script doesn't seem to work too well...
I often play on G4B2S on my 56k (500+ ping) when the serv is full, but i've never been kicked - the player count has gone up to 27/26 (no typo, the maxplayers stays 26) a disturbing number of times :S

Find a server that doesnt use it then. I play mostly on Cofr and I get kicked all the time, but if the gameplay in that server isnt worth getting kicked then don't play there. If you make obvious contrabutions to the team, work well and all those other good things Im sure the administrator of the server would love to give you a reserve spot, seing as how your improving thier gameplay.
PS. Most of these reserve spots use highest pinger so you may be getting kicked so much if your on dial-up, playing on a far away server, or other wise poor connection.
