This change lets survivors be able to normally move out of spawn without being overwhelmed when either it's the first round or players intentionally switch teams after a round begins, especially in maps that move spawn points after setup ends. No changes were made during the waiting for players, active round and post round periods.
New behaviour:
Players are still allowed to go into the spectator team as much as they please.
If a player tries to join the infected team as a survivor during grace period, the gamemode will simply not let them and do nothing besides tell them they aren't allowed to do so in chat.
They'll be allowed to switch teams again when it ends, though.
If a player tries to join any team as a spectator, or when first selecting a team during grace period, they'll stay as spectator and automatically change to infected once setup/grace period ends after being told about it in chat.
Only exception is when this player started as infected and for some reason decided to become a spectator, then to join the infected team again.
