Automatic kicks: high ping, spectators, names
Keep the server clean without staff online.
- High ping (ST-16): set a ping limit and a grace period. The player is whispered first and only kicked if the ping stays too high. The log shows the ping at the kick.
- Spectator auto-kick (ST-18): spectators are asked to join a team and removed after a set time.
- Recent Steam ban (ST-13): kick or ban players whose most recent VAC or game ban is younger than the limit you set, with an exempt list for players you trust.
- Name filter (ST-17): names with words you block, or someone wearing your clan tag, are reported to staff or kicked. The two can answer differently — a blocked word kicks while a tag only tells your admins, or the other way round. A tag also gives the player time to take it off first; a blocked word is acted on at once.
- Auto end match (ST-09) and 50 vs 50 (ST-26) for special setups.
The texts players see can be changed under Settings → In-game messages (ST-21).
