Idea/Suggestion Type:
Lobby creation
Description:
This thing happen yesterday:

Jaegerbot (http://logs.tf/15280...561198028063430) created snakewater lobby, it started to fill up slowly.

Some other players created badlands lobby and it was quickly populated.

Jaegerbot joined badlands lobby as pocket as it was likely to start soon, only 1 med was missed.

Unfortunately for him, his own lobby was actually the first one to fill up.

So he kicked scout who was already in ready up state and joined back instead.

I think it was a complete dick move and should be prevented. Lobby creators should close their own lobby first if they want to join any other.

Pros/Cons:
Pro: Prevent lobby abuse

Con: You can't create lobby for your friend and play another. It could be useful due to server.me premium. From other hand, server.me live off donations and such premium "sharing" is not how you should use it. So I consider it as Pro as well.

We provide Lobby leaders with tools to kick/ban others. As long as this is not used "excessively", we allow this since there are also a lot of good reasons for using it. Feel free to file a report if you think that injustice has been done; but like I said, I think your chances are slim. 

 

As for your feature request: I think it's a great feature to create Lobbies for others, so I don't see any reason why leaders would have to play themselves.
