I have noticed that many of the admins are not going spec when they are idle. This makes the teams unfair and because we cant vote to put spec an admin there is nothing the remaining players can do about it. I know there maybe a reason like they talking to another admin about a situation but mostly it just seems to be they away from their computer. I know I am a pain cause I hate losing but hard to teach an old dog new tricks. Thanks everyone see you on server

No, I agree with you. They should take time to go spec. Every player should but trueadmins wont be drop by inactivity so it's even more important.
Also, admins afk spec on days/evenings very likely to have a server full. It's not fun to queue 20 minutes because there is an admin afk for a couple hours. It's not respectful for those who wants to play and have to wait such a long time just because someone was too lazy to disconnect (probably just for xp save = being very cheap cuz this is a poor reason to camp spec).

It depends some admins (QAW members) dont take up slots I am talking more about sitting on a team idle. Sometimes they sitting spec cause they watching someones play IE looking for cheaters.

Thats why I said "being >>>AFK<<< for couple hours". I'm talking about "some" admins that are camping spec all day every day even on days like fridays and weekends (kind of days that end up with a full server almost every time).
I'm not counting QAW. They have their own slots.
Nothing bother me more than having to queue 20 minutes just because they wanted their XP save. Thats cheap and not cool for players that really want to play. Worse part of it is that we cant kick some of them cuz they are high admins (unless a QAW is around).

As a rule, I personally try to go spec if I'm going to be away for more than 90 secs or so - 2 mins tops. I think its reasonable to be able to keep your team if you won't be away long. I know you're not really talking about such a short idle time, but yes, jr. admins on up should be mindful of this - especially the repeat offenders.
Be sure to ask if there is ANOTHER admin in the game too. Some of us that can't !putspec can kick the individual (depending on lvl) if its getting egregious. There's no reason I can think of to be on a team, alive, and idle for more than a cpl mins.
As far as full server, definitely speak up if you had to wait while someone is spec. That's not cool, but its something i keep an eye on anyway during primetime.
This is all assuming there's no admin business being conducted.

I've been guilty of minimizing while in game and forgetting about it until the next morning.

Yes I have as Robmadman mentioned seen this happen quite a few times. I fully understand and respect admins that on occasion have to do private chats but the several times I mention about is when it happens upwards of 10 minutes. I know you have the private slots deal for QAW, but that's generally not a problem of taking up a game slot. Where the problem is that when idle for so long the teams are off. If you go idle with a team down one, its then down two. I'm so much for balanced teams to make the game fair is all. To further stay on subject.... !warn Scout, !kick Scout, !ban Scout

I know I have gotten pushed around the spawn a couple of times for being idle on a team. Generally, for me it is because I stop to respond to a pm or quick look up some info on a player. Sometimes nature calls. I try to stick to Oz's guidelines. If it takes more than a couple of minutes, I go spec. I would just ask a little patience if you see an idle admin. Normally there is something going on. If it becomes an issue, ask another admin to put them spec. As far as admins idle in spec, if the server is full, generally, we try to clear out some space. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry too much about it. If they are in spec, it helps keep the server in people's lists if they have the empty server filter on, so people continue to see the server. I always see it as a helpful thing unless the server is full.

If im idle in a team, don't panic! It's probably because i opened my cake shop. So next time, stop by and taste a slice of cake with us
