Autohosts, a request

Stop allowing any sod from unlocking battles by PM'ing the autohost, many-a-game has been stopped from launching when a noob does that, joins and we have to wait another 20 minutes for someone to join or leave.

Maybe when setting up an !autolock anyone past that number who joined in the last 20 seconds can be automatically specced.

Well I had an idea where if you PM the bot with an unlock command, the person gets autospecced for the next 60 seconds.

All bots should enable !voteboss, and all players should use it.

I don't know, I might have to just kick your bots instead when you're trying to launch with six people and four or five others want games in lobby while you're the only ship in port. Sure, unlocking is an issue at times, but so is locking.

+1, neither extreme is desireable, but if everyone ingame wants a degree of control, just use !voteboss.

Play a 5v5 dsd on an autohost neddie, watch as people pm spam unlock and that 5v5 turns into a pile of 8v8 faggotry.

Since when is 8v8 faggotry? 8v8 is a time when I can use my uberpro tactics like comdrops/bomb and hoverspam. 8v8 dsd is AWESOME. Generally there is t2, and dgunning t2 tanks is alot more fun than dgunning t1 tanks.
