Can we do away with TTT Karma Farming?

[Deacon]

In TTT, if a player stays in spectator mode, they will slowly regain karma.

Lately people have begun idling for hours on end, gaining back most/all of their lost karma. These players usually lose it all in the next round, but that is not the point.

Is it possible to remove karma gain from being in spectator mode?
I would really like it if we could remove this, if it is possible.

you know what you should do in the meantime, get a ss of them and their karma and show time etc what not

then get another one with their karma full and then again with it back down, all with time

Screenshot of me after I killed an innocent (I asked infamousfelix; don't worry)



Screenshot of me 34 minutes later



A gain of +240 karma for a 30 minute break. And I'm just running in windowed mode, letting me do other things. It's just a short break. .__.
Getting tired but if I stay awake long enough I'll get one more.



(I noticed in the console that I am still labeled as innocent while in spectator mode. I also know that innocents gain a bit of karma each round, so its more than likely because of that. Although I'm not saying remove that gain for playing innocents, because thats pretty much the only reason my karma stays so high, I never kill people)

we are keeping karma

I want to get rid of a glitch with karma

[Repulse]

  Yes, I agree to this. People will just go to spectators when they have low karma to gain more karma.

Thanks for stating the obvious.

Yea, I was surprised this hadn't been mentioned/fixed a while ago.
A looooooong time ago I saw Zomboss do it, and checked if he was actually using spectator to anti-afk his karma back.
I've kicked people for doing this before, where they'll be in the server for some 8 hours and I watch them for a good 30 minutes - 1 hour and they just sit there with +right in console as a spectator, not being kicked while slowly gaining their karma back and taking up slots on the server.

You don't even have to do +right;+forward anymore. You won't get afk kicked at all anymore, even if you're just letting gmod run in the background without anything.

Hasn't it been mentioned somewhere before by coolz that anti-afking would warrant a 3-days ban? I don't know where it was, but I'm pretty sure that was said.

Wow I never knew people had done this. I usually just go "meh" when my karma is low and just keep playing regularly. to get rid of that glitch if possible.
BTW, can we put something that if someone is afk in spectator for 10 mins. then can they get kicked?

Maybe this will show how badly the problem needs to be solved....
