I know I'm not the only one who sits in the Spectator room of TAW waiting for the lobby to get going because I don't want to afk in the lobby itself waiting for a game just to get trolled into a surprise 1v1 against e.g. stuart when I'm editing my youtube playlist.

Just recently we had something like 15 people in speclobby and an open discussion about how everyone wanted in, but no one wanted to risk sitting and get drawn into a bad game.

Ergo, for one of the TAWs, I suggest not allowing the game to begin until it's at least a 4v4, so those of us who want to play a decently sized game can help seed lobbies.

I was thinking turning elo off until it's 4v4 (possibly unless it's very close to 50/50?).

I'm quite sure games actively being played encourages specs into the pots and retains specs in the lobby, so I wouldn't want them to stop entirely, but small teams in taw are usually horribly balanced and possibly overall make rating less accurate as a result of being ranked?

A lot of players would be more likely to play these early snowballing games if they didn't feel they would mess with their ranking. This is part of the reason people play hooked so frequently.
