OK. Let's put down the dictionaries, put aside our feelings, and have a legitimate discussion about redirections, etc. Those that are opposed to redirections: sv_maxvisibleplayers aside, lets say we've got 20 pub slots on a 23 man server. If you are a non reserve client, and are taking up slots 21, 22, and/or 23, be forced into spectator, then prompted with a display of other servers to be directed to, and the OPTION to join one of the others. After x seconds, if you do not choose, you get disconnected? Right now, if you are a pub client connecting to a "full" server, you go through the connection only to get disconnected. This sounds like a reasonable compromise, no? ...and who can code this? happy holidays, sj On 12/20/06, Hexis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wed, Dec 20, 2006 at 02:36:45PM +0300, Roman Hatsiev wrote: > > Everyone has his own understanding of abuse.
