Server Joining and You

[Yer Mom]

It seems to me that I can occasionally kick someone if I force a connection to the server.

I'm checking to make sure that I understand this correctly. I can NOT kick someone with a forced connection to the server if I am NOT an SM.

That statement would make this statement false.

Or, perhaps I am reading that wrong.

I have noticed that if I do force a connection to the server, as stated above, that I can occasionally kick someone. I think this is due to the server picking someone at random to kick if I actually get in to the server. It's only occasionally, and does not work all the time. If the server is 14/14 and I force a connection, 8 out of 10 times I am going to get the "You have been kicked for a reserve slot member," and the other 2 out of 10 times, I will actually get in to the server.

I may be mislead, but I do see this happening. Last night I connected to the server and someone was kicked. It's entirely possible that an SM and myself connected at the same time, and it kicked someone to open a spot for the SM, which I took, and in turn the SM kicked another person for his spot.

Not sure if any of the above is fact, but I am seeing a pattern that doesn't agree completely with the above stated server connection policy.
