    Is there a way to spectate official matches? If not, is it being considered? I think it would make an awesome addition to ctf.

    thats a great idea! I would love to be able to spectate matches, it could automatically put you on the server as a spectator if you are not on a special list (like the whitelist)...
    Help to work on that ref rank everyone wants...

    Only admins/developers+ can give you this, pretty sure.

    ^ ye, there already is a spectate mode that mods use to ref matches n stuff (I've seen a couple of @wintergreen3's spectated matches too). The thing is a lot simpler than it could be, it's mainly just finding a way to sign people up to spectate matches and giving them spectator mode n such. Maybe you'd have to mute their chat though, unless there's a no-team default chat?

    Surely there's a way to allow people to log in as a third "team" whenever they want and give them some sort of noclip spectator mode by default?

    I agree, this would be cool. It could help players who are new to teams understand what matches are like (though I've never been in a match myself). :smile:

    The third team could just be not having a team (like what used to happen in Brawl Beta :stuck_out_tongue:), and there's a Vanish mode that will remove you both from sight and from the tab list. I think I heard that ninja's redstone does the same thing, someone correct or confirm if you can. And then the no-clip I'm sure can be given to people via command.

    Coke is a vital accessory, but never get popcorn without butter and/or salt

    I prefer toffee popcorn. I also think that to spectate you need the team rep's permission.

    @ROBLOXMAN3779 If I remember correctly, the idea of a ref rank was denied.
    @pookeythekid Yes, there are default "no team" chats. Ninja's redstone makes you invisible in tab and in game, yes.
    @__Medic__ I know for a fact that an admin could assign spectator mode. It seems logical that a dev could too, but I'm not sure about that.
    @sportyman56 Last time I heard anything about spectating, you would need permission from both team reps, and the ref of the match. I don't think that there have ever been many spectators in matches, however. It adds another couple of things the mod/ref needs to watch out for.
