Remove !forcestart in game. Nubs forcestarting when they are in game and they dont care about others who still connecting. And since we anyway has autosart timer i dont see why we need this, expect for nubs annoying people with it

!forcestart is also used to start a game when lots of the players are afk to the point where a vote cannot pass, when these players are not back soon it is completely understandable that people dont want to wait another 10 minutes for a game to start.

Its not 10 minutes, it is 2 minutes.
Also, !forcestart is a vote unless initiator isn't a nub but a moderator. Which means, if "players are afk to the point where a vote cannot pass", it is useless anyway.

I support removing the "democratic" !forcestart and keeping only the moderator-initiated !forcestart because mods should know how to use it with care. If lots of people are afk, forcestart isn't the way to handle the case, the solution is !exit and rematch (maybe rules of an !exit vote during pregame stage should be reviewed to allow vote to pass despite a large number of afk players, I don't know).

I think !force should've been removed back when the 3 minute limit was added.

I did not mean in game, i was talking about in the lobby (there have been instances where !specafk did not work, probably fixed since licho renamed springe). If that is fixed then i would support forcestart being removed, it might be useful for times when 1 player is going to take >5 minutes to download the map and a spec vote fails due to lack of votes.

Oi, I didn't play in a while and confused !forcestart with !force in my first post (changed now). I think !forcestart is useful for when people want special starting conditions.

Same here, but with context provided by OP, we can be sure this thread is about the ingame command.
The lobby command has uses and should remain.

I agree, remove forcestart at least temporarily, because of long loading times in this version 94.1.

We don't need forcestart with auto-forcestart after 3 mins.
