Move idle players to ready room

<div class="IPBDescription">instead of kicking</div>I think the server should put idle players in ready room as long as the server <b>isn't full</b>. So the player won't need to reconnect when he is back and wants to continue playing. When the server is full the player with longest idle time can be kicked.

What do you think?

    Sounds needed, useful, simple and effective, Congratulations, You passed my 4 redundancy filters; so I'd say It's a good idea.

    what about players who are afk for some time, would they never be kicked? its unfair to keep idlers stopping others from joining a full server when someone else could be playing. the only thing i like about this is when there's an afker on the ip or something and there's people in the ready room already who could take his place if he wasn't hogging the slot, then he would be moved aside.. BUT this already is solved by them just getting kicked, so personally i don't see this as very useful other than supporting players who have little intention to play whole rounds and/or selfishly idle while others want to play.

    good idea tho but i don't see it as being practical.

    i personaly prefer only to kick people when the server is full, that gives them time to realise they left something behind and leave/continue playing.

    if people are indeed idle, the server should automatically kick them so that there is always 1 slot open for potential people to join. as soon as someone joins, the server kicks the next idler to open up a spot etc. until no more idlers are left
