Yeah, you got a good point there. I don't know why they just can't build in a button on the main TF2 screen that you click and you get a simple chat window... with a user listing... and it have like link generation that people can just click to open trade with whoever generated the link... like 'Trading [Fish] for buff banner' or like 'Looking for [Fish]'.. then people could just click the link and it open up a PM chat between those two people with a trade window on the side; and this would reduce spam.

It does however keep them grouped while trading (aka spec mode). So it could be helpful for keeping teams balanced, but then again you will still have those people basically afk while trading taking up a slot. Lets say you get 2 people trading, then get moved to spec. then 2 more start trading, and they get moved to spec. (lets be realilistic about this also. it's normally more than 4 people trading at 1 time anyway) Lets say we have 6 people trading at 1 time. They get moved to spec for being afk. So now you have almost a 1/4 of the players in spec trading. Out of the other 3/4 of the players some of them will leave (lets say 4 players) due to so many going or getting moved to spec to trade. So now we 1/2 a server playing. some of them will leave due to the others that have left, and some will leave due to the amount going to spec, and even so... some will leave due the amount of chat spam "hey anyone want to trade?" Simple solution is do not allow trading while in a server, and keep it in a PM / trading post built with in steam. This would allow everyone to chat about trading without effecting everyone else in a server.
