lol whenever the update to TTF is finished I may think about putting that on the server.  Of course that means TTF will switch dFb members around as well  :wink:.  I've heard complaints about stacked teams for awhile, not just eX getting on one team but the server doesn't balance in general.

Most of the time the server balances based on the position you are in on the player list (odd position goes on one side, even on the other).  Unfortunately, people can cheat and wait in spec for the right spot.  Also, I think since the new update you can follow a friend and the server automatically tries to put you on your friend's team (if possible).

If people idle just kick them.  They can rejoin if they want.  If they try to rejoin and the server is full- that's their problem.  Banning them for idling one time would be abusive.
