I'm sure someone's brought this up because it's been around for a while, but I didn't see it so I thought I'd go ahead and post: the spectator lists in lobbies aren't accurate.  It maintains names of people who have joined and left, rather than only actual spectators.  It confuses people in the lobby who are waiting for, say, a medic.

Talked about here: http://forums.tf2cen...veyard/?hl=spec, and a bit here I think: http://forums.tf2center.com/topic/998-solution-to-the-mumble-crisis-spectating-and-mentors-now-have-a-spec-team/?hl=spectate .

 

 

 

I still don't see why everybody is so overly concerned about the spectators.  They do not hurt anything by being there (even if they are not really there).

I think this is an actual bug, not a suggestion. Either way, the spectator list will be reviewed at some point in the future.

It's hard to tell if spectators have actually left; we've done some testing in the past and it seemed to work. It may have something to do with multiple tabs open.

 

The stuff under the hood is pretty complicated, so I would rather not spend too much time on it, since it's not that important.
