What are the reasons for spectator being disabled ? Can you put a timer to kick specs ? I want to view someone I find suspicious.

It's to prevent people idling in spectator. It's hard to tell the difference between someone who is sitting in spectator watching someone and someone who is idle in spectator since in both cases the player isn't really doing anything.

but dont ya think a 60 second idle would be okay and maybe this feature could be had for reserve slot holders which I plan to buy soon.

Or maybe a method to determine if the user has pressed a key or the mouse? Like valves mp_autokick?

Gotta say, I would sure love to be able to spectate as well. A 2 or 3 minute spectate timer (till it either picks a random team for you, or kicks you, etc) would be lovely. There's quite a few folks out there that behave suspiciously at times, and I while I will VERY rarely accuse someone of hacking, it'd be great if there was actually a way to be sure without looking like a complete whiner. Something subtle, like spectating.
