Hi,
If you are not able to kick some connected players and they do not show up in the status command than it means that they are not fully connected to the server they are downloading files from the server.

You can try to reduce the number of custom files in the server or add a sv_downloadurl to your server.
That will reduce the download time and people will be connected more easily.

Setting sv_timeout very high will mean that the server will not kick any hang or stuck players that are not sending any data to the server. Over time these hang player's quantity will increase and reduce the number of slots available to the real players and in the end all slots will be filled by these hang players and no real players will be able to join your server.
Set sv_timeout to not more than 120 seconds. Preferably to 90.

DO NOT change any CVARs if you don't know what they mean or what they do. It can cause your server to behave improperly or even fail!
