This functionality of manimod is greatly missed, when normal user w/o slot reservation tries to connect to a full server, he should be redirected instantly to another ip specified by a cvar.

VALVe removed this ages and ages ago. MANI mod can't do it either.

The HReserved Slots plugin will offer a user the option of being redirected (user presses F3 to accept or they get kicked) if the server's full.

Because some people might redirect to a server that crashes the client?

Because people were fed up joining a server only to be instantly redirected to one they didn't choose to join.

Now they're asked if they want to join = better for the client.

And because there were "honey pot" server farms where 40 or 50 servers would all redirect to one server to increase traffic to it. That's very frustrating for the users connecting to what looked like full servers.
