You also don't want to spend this amount of time trying to second-guess the system. In the simple case, there's no way in hell kicking someone for being afk is going to push your server into the very-high-connections-very-low-playing-time zone that they used to identify player-hostile servers. In the complex case, _NOT_ kicking afk players will have a larger effect on the rest of your community that leaving them around ever could.
Imo people's energies would be better focused focusing on their community and setting aside paranoia about the unfeasibly unlikely possibility of a normal server being caught out by this until it actually happens. > -----Original Message----- > From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux- > boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Guy Watkins > Sent: 14 March 2009 21:26 > To: 'Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list' > Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] TF2 Delisting > > } -----Original Message----- > } From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux- > } boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Brian Rak > } Sent: Friday, March 13, 2009 12:10 AM > } To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com > } Subject: [hlds_linux] TF2 Delisting > } > } > } D) Does getting kicked/banned from a server effect it's position? > There > } are a number of server plugins that kick players shortly after they > } connect for various reasons, (ex: Steambans, Sourcebans, various > other > } banning plugins).
