Has the auto kick been disabled for idle players?Anyone else notice a few trying to get points for being AFK?

Whether it is on or not I don't know, though I *DO* know that it used to be that if an AFK player got bounced around my a titan or something, that movement was taken into consideration and then the timer reset. And, since titans often come out by about wave 3 now, there is not enough time for the autokick to activate before the player "moves" by being bounced around.
The only immediate resolution I could think of would be to take several screenshots of the ideal player over the course of several minutes and then PM those to a server admin. I'm all for banning idlers since there are PLENTY of other people willing to actually PLAY the game once they get their slot.

Also, the guys could take a few seconds to vote kick the idlers. That's what tends to happen when I'm about anyway.

Zombie just came in the game in which an idler had been afk 3 games.He ask the idler to respond a few times then booted him thx Zombie.We were close to kick voting him but never had enough to do it.Many new players have trouble scoring but to idle all day is sorta sad.Barks is sorta new and whether he dies or not he is in the game trying and thats what the idler needs to do also.I think auto kick might have been turned off though can some1 check into this please?

Well the auto boot doesn't always help cause I have known people to stand still in a safe because they had either a superlucky on or magic pu on and they were trying to summon stuff. When you commit yourself to only trying to get rare stuff for others, you sorta don't do much else sadly, and I have had on occasion gotten a superlucky on maps like dust and just went to deemer and sat around waiting for power ups (mostly I wanted the crate and crowbar
).

Good point scion i remember the auto kick booting me as a spectated after 30 seconds it seemed.I think the idle person knows its not allowed now but i guess if the server were full they would get booted much faster to allow another player in.H e got booted again today by Maria Chuckles would have but he voted while he was playing so Maria did it.When he got on later he said it was an accident and would try to keep from doing in future.
