I do the same thing, except it's a 26 slot server with 2 hidden (shows 24/24 -> 25/24 -> 26/24).
Check out "H-Reserved (Advanced Reserved Slots)" on the SourceMod forums. It makes it very easy. I personally am amazed the op still has people on his server, what with kicking people randomly and all :/ There's really no reason to use auto-kick reserved slots or manually kick people with the 'hidden slots' system available.
