Summary0002058: "You must wait 10 seconds" for joining and team switching should be reduced to 3 seconds.
DescriptionThis is apparently hard coded and occurs across all game modes and it's loathed by many people. The time to wait should either be able to be set by the server admin or at least hard coded to a much more reasonable time such as 3 seconds.

+1 for three seconds, but honestly I think that it might be worthwhile removing the "feature" completely. If somebody is being an idiot with teamswitching, just kick him, it's not hard.

I kind of agree that this is irritating to deal with online. I think this is one of those features in which configurability would be a waste. Who is going to set it back to 10 seconds?

The only point I see in the limit is to prevent the team-switching player from spamming the chat. If he's wants to teamhop constantly, a 10 second limit is very little different from 3 seconds.

Yes, Alex it's not hard to kick someone, however you forget that not all servers are ran equally. An admin may not be around or callvote might be disabled. As Dusk stated, 3 seconds should be able to get the job done as well as 10.

So, there are 3 places where 10 seconds are considered: joining, team switching and suiciding. Should we change all of these to 3 seconds?

[edit]Dusk and I agree to reduce only joining and team switching time interval.

[edit2]Done.

Tested and verified with Zandronum1.4-alpha-r150113-1948. 3 seconds is so nice.
