<div class="IPBDescription">so they don't fill up the server slots...</div>Hi there.

My idea is to let spectators join from 'outside' the game (etc. directly from server list), so they don't fill up server slots.

Don't know how much more there is to say. :)

Cheers

    just remove spectator at all, its useless anyway, takes up server slots and prevent people want actual want to play to get on the server, also make people either random join a side when they moving in ready room or kick them form server if there standing still in ready ready room 5 minutes after game started.

    Very annoying to have people take up server space and not doing anything with it.

    I agree by it being very annoying. Though there should be somekind of spectator if NS2 have to become somekind of e-sport :)

    Why not allow spectator mode to be toggled on/off through server commands, and implement an in-game theater mode that would allow players to spectate recorded games so that commentators like Hugh & Wasabi can still do their jobs. Theater systems have been proven to work time and again for competitive gaming commentary; StarCraft 2 being a notable example. This way server operators who don't want to deal with spectators clogging up the server slots can have their full games, and people who just want to sit back and watch (or are commentating) can still do that.
