Title: Voice Rights for Spectators
Post by: gerhard on November 08, 2012, 10:24:10 am
Please remove the voice rights for spectators. For example an 1v1 with 1 afk spectator is horrible. I think spectators should not have any voice rights. exception: Tha Admin

Right. The voice from the spectators should be not included in the votekick or something like that

I agree, I can't see any reason why specs need to be able to votekick.

How bout not being able to vote as a spectator only in circumstances if there's someone in one of the participating teams? This way you may vote as a spectator alone in a server, or with someone else who is also a spectator.

who are you gonna votekick if you're alone in a server? and in what situation do you need to votekick a spectator when you are spectator yourself? If that situation occurs you can simply join a team and votekick the other spec.
Spectators can still be able to vote on map

I think the specatator is not an active player also should he not be able to interfere in the game, in my opinion.

Spectators might sometimes be active spectators..?

Topic seems to be about voting in general and I think the idea is okay, however when you're alone in a server it would be plain silly to have any restrictions while you're a spectator.

I think you're chasing after the wrong people here. It's not the spectators that should be taken out of votes - it's the AFKers. Make votes have a time limit of, let's say, 45 seconds. If a player doesn't cast his vote before the time runs out - he gets excluded from total vote count, regardless of which team he's on. Spectators (NOT AFKers) must have the right to vote as they often have a better idea of whats going on rather than an individual player (since they, you know, actually observe the game).

 There is a time limit, but it should perhaps be shortened a bit?
