There have been nights where I have played between three and twelve games not of TA descent. In the case of War Evolution and Kernel Panic, the short period of time necessary for play tends to exclude those games from the stats.

it is doing harm. Many people have complained that it spams the list of open games making it harder for that non-passworded, not-full, not-locked, not-hole punched (in the case of some users), game that is hosting the right mod and a decent map to catch your attention.

Peopel scan the lists visually as much as anything else. youre not going to read everything. the green light is a useful indicator for a reason. putting unnecessary green-lighted games that will never be full is deterimental.

This is a lobby design issue.

All autohosts should have the BOT flag set to true, and autohost games should be listed seperately when empty.

This si a lobby developers issue not a community discussion issue. end of.

No need to use a flags or anything. In general, _any_ game where the only players are spectators (that is, 0+X/Y) should be treated as a seperate status. Colour them in blue and put them below the green games when sorting by status.

I disagree, that would lead to false positives.

As long as there is bandwidth for the 30 spectators as well. And take at least 15 minutes to start (I could never quite work out why they sit at 2+10 for 10 minutes)
