I often play Engineer and stay in the same spot clanking my sentry to keep it alive. I often get the "You must move in 120 seconds to avoid being kicked" or whatever it is. Especially on 2 fort where i sit. I leave my SG unattended to move around, and i might add you have to move quite a bit to start it over again, and then my gun goes down. Never fails.

Perhaps eliminate this for donators or just that class maybe?

It's called AFK Manager. Same goes for VSH a lot, when you settle on high points with engie, you're AFK manager gets annoying.
 
I'd rather force one person to press the 'W' key than play with a team of 5 AFK's.
 
The AFK manager is extended for donators. There is no reason you can't move at least once in two minutes to prevent yourself from moving to spectate.

It shouldn't be removed completely because someone could leave their computer for 5 hours and just take up a slot for no reason... Donators have a reserved slot in case they do get kicked and have to rejoin.
 
It can get irritating when it starts to happen under certain circumstances even though you're there and contributing to your team (for example sniping on VSH)

But its a necessary evil, and when it does happen it can easily be countered by simply saying something in chat as Chel pointed out.
 
The problem, in my experience is not so much that it will kick you, it's that when it warns you, it spams your chat with I think it was 5 second intervals countdowns.
For donators, have it tell you the primary "you will be kicked in 120 seconds," but disable the whole count down T-Minus thing until you implode spam.

Side note: Why does Google Chrome keep telling me I'm misspelling donators? Is donators not a word?
