Ok so I'll be honest here, I have no idea how to do this, but here's the suggestion.
Stop AFK Point Farmers
The name speaks for itself, but for those who don't know what I mean, I'll explain it in detail.
Quite often I'll log on Sandbox and see a dead person or two who have been dead for several hours. Every map change they either get spawnkilled or pushed out of spawn to be killed. My point is, they're afk. Yet they're still sitting there racking up points. So my suggestion is basically like implement a code or something to detect if a player has gone afk (no activity for, lets say, 30 minutes, or on servers with teams, they're on the "Spectator" or the "Unassigned" teams), and this would disable earning points until activity has been detected again. I don't know about the other servers, but there's a few afk point farmers on Sandbox and Prop Hunt. I usually kick them, to stop them from point farming. I don't think it's fair to be able to collect points just for being on the server and that's it. You can just stand there for 12 hours, come back and you just gained 10,800 points for doing absolutely nothing. Almost makes donating for points seem not worth it because you can just afk farm them.
I dunno, just what I think. What about you guys? Feedback would be appreciated, as well as alternative ideas on how to handle it.
As always, Poll is down below.
