Eugh, the saigns guy. Please leave for either one of the following
reasons. You've put yourself into a position where no one will listen to
whatever crap you say and therefore every conversation will go nowhere,
and I'm really really bad at using Thunderbird (this includes setting up
custom spam filters, at least I've gotten rid of you, spam girl).
But I'm going to drop this here just as a proof of how good-hearted and
community-spirited you are.

It doesn't matter if it's empty for full. Some people will be the
first and they will wait for their friends.

As I already said it is not a problem in full servers.
The problem is when the server is about to fill or empty out. People
sort servers by the number of players, and they will join a server
with 4-5 "humans" that are actually bots on your server. And this is
at a critical time when every other server only has 1-2 players on it,
so they will end up joining yours first.
It makes all the difference if they stand in spawn or be controlled by
a bot. If they stand in spawn, then the active players will see no one
is available to kill and they will leave the empty server. If they see
people running around they will be more likely to stay. And they
probably think they are real humans when they are not.

Even on full servers the amount of AFK players is quite low:

It doesn't really matter if they stand in spawn or move around. This
happens on every server.
I also could start kicking people for using Conga taunts for 60
minutes ... Could be the same argument: "Faking activity".
Players decide, what they do ...

You know that's not what I'm talking about... I'm talking about real
players you are controlling with bots.
