Hypothetical situation:
I own a freq, I type ?away ?freqkick
All my teammates macro under a really quick macro :Siaon:I'm dieing, spec me!
Then when they nearly die they press their hotkey and they're saved from a certain death, huzah!

| Pausable fix would be to maybe allow for a timer between when the kicking takes place after the command is issued. For leagues and such, they would just disable the feature completely. |

| Er, yes, they're saved, but the lose their ship and have to go rejoin the freq. If the only issue here is that they don't get a death marked down in their stats, then I propose to make ?freqkick increment their death count. How's that? |

I think that a short delay is a better solution.

The proper solution is that ?away should only send text, and not commands.

| How about an option to set the delay and a boolean for increment deaths? |

Oh, of course. ?away should never be able to send commands. If I could enforce that I would. But unfortunately we can only consider solutions that don't require modifying the client.
I guess I'll add a 2-second delay. |

Hold your horses, ?freqkick does NOT move players to the freqspec, it keeps them on the current freq.
Anyway, I'm working on a fix to this that checks the to be kicked players energy |

| Er, wow, that was a pretty dumb oversight. Anyway, ?freqkick in cvs now correctly specs the target with a 3 second delay. |
