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

Afk for 8 hrs.? Really?

10 mins?

2 mins
I said 10 mins. because sometimes people have to do shit and will come back in like a few mins.

How about 5 mins?

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.
Shit, seriously?
So I shouldn't go afk anymore?
Cause I often go AFK and just leave Gmod on cause I don't think to turn it off... and usually I get moved to spectator before being kicked by afk kicker.

it took me longer to prove that this works last night than it did to gain all my karma back, then lose it, and gain half of it back the normal way.

 :thumbsup: To removing this.

This should remove the wait time to join the server due to those afk's taking all dem slots.




Thank you Marie for the sprite.

Well this is part of how the author wanted it, but I do agree with the OP so far.

I'm investigating easiest way to prevent this and to persist every update.

Basically remove karma increase for spectatorzzzzzz

lalala,

Alright so I investigated this, and what I thought could work as a simple change won't.

TTT applies karma at the end of each round, at the end of each round everyone not alive is a spectator, not dead/inno

If I stop karma gain for spectators, when it applies at each round end.. yeah there's the issue. It's just the design of the game.

A way to do it would be to manually keep track of all the players from start to end of round, excluding any other circumstances.

This isn't a feasible change like I was planning on implementing at the moment, so I reverted the changes I made.

I will think about ways to do this more adequately but I do not have anything at the moment,

Karma farming happens quite a lot, maybe there should just be an auto AFK kick to free up slots? There doesn't seem to be one one at the moment

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.

Yes, I would really like this.  :thumbsup:

I always have to wait in line to join the servers while there are karma farmers in the server doing nothing.
