Automated kicking of dead players after some time sounds more reasonable to me than GMs kicking them.

After we notice a problem with the extra load it is causing. AFAIK so far no problems.
This message used to be meaningful.

Sometimes in certain circumstances dead players can be a pain. For instance if your fighting in close quarters somewhere it's hard to see your drops with a dead player lying on the floor on top of them.

I think a dead player timeout would be a good idea. I don't think tho GM's should waste there time and effort on em when they could be doing other stuff.

(Sorry to respond to this but it is a public forum if you want opinions or facts from GM's then private message them. I'm sure they will be willing to talk with you.)

Can't wait for this day to come. Maybe it will be like the first time the autoban for spamming was put in place and everyone who type anything in the chat was banned for one hour.
