Idea New Command for Match Server

I know the entire elite thing on CTF can just be completely unfair due to people switching all to one team or the other, but something like this could be useful on the match server. I'm proposing a command that will toggle on and off a sort of "elite rank" on the match server to give players the ability to switch themselves.

When matches happen, usually there are three main stages (done by mods).
1. Setting Maps
2. Switching Players
3. Rules

Usually switching players takes the longest time, especially in large matches. Common problems that arise are
- Mods being hampered by the tons of switch requests
- People relogging on the opposite team (before the match)
And it's the main fact that most mods don't remember each team's members roster, and much less their merc roster (which for some teams isn't even the same on the thread).

Should players be given the ability to switch themselves pregame (and possibly in game), the switching process could be expedited. Players would be able to switch themselves to their respective team without waiting for 5 minutes and spamming the mods in chat. I feel that this would just make match pregames and setup much easier for both teams and the mods involved.

I also understand that when players are given a nice thing, most of the time there is the player that abuses it, so there could also be a command that toggles a specific player's switching ability. Once the game starts, the mod can simply turn off the switching mode and if a player rejoins on the opposite team, it's not much of a hassle to manually switch one player (the mods just have to be observant in tab and chat, which most of them are most of the time).

Feedback is appreciated

(@NomNuggetNom I have not much previous experience in coding, so would this be possible?)

 

Yes, I was aware that people abuse switching. That's why in the last section, I thought of adding a command that controls a single player's ability to switch, so if Randy360 was spam switching, you could do ./toggleswitch Randy360 Off or something.
