A slight problem before the trading patch but a much bigger problem now.. nearly every match has 3-4 players sitting in spawn on each team doing nothing for sometimes the full duration of a game. For whatever the reason- why not go to spectate? Many games are now decided on who has less players trading/afk/chatting while in spawn making it less fun for those who are actually playing.
So my suggestion is a timer of say 1-2mins where if a player hasnt moved then they are put in spectate. This then would allow the teams to be balanced.

Just set it to auto admin_slap them. Eventually they will be slapped out of spawn

The problem with lower the kick or move to spectator time is that it would stop players from taking a leak and still being on the side they choose.
Admins can move players to spectator if asked nicely

This more or less follows on from my 'So many afk's post'.
I dont get why you cant just get a drink or go for a pee on the minute set up and then be ready for your team mates. Least of all sit in spawn. 1 minute to kick should be the max for me.
Its getting like a day out in the car with young kids now.
Have you been to the toilet ?
Have you got a drink and some food ?
Have you rolled another joint ?
Well maybe not the last 1 but personally i would like to see all this crafting stuff banned in game.
TF2 is turning into an RPG !

it definately takes me longer than 1 min to take a leak, or get a beer, or have a smoke.
I'm old and rotting away slowly. Give us old folks a chance
