Discovered an issue with administrating linux server

I had a game that was full 6/6 players. Wanted to join as a spectator, but I had forgot to setup spectator slots for this particular server. Didn't want to ruin their game so I logged into web admin and entered the following command in the console.

set gameinfo maxspectators 2

This gave me 2 spectator slots without having to restart the server... wrong.

Anytime a new played joined the server they couldn't select a perk. This happened during the current game and every game there-after. I had to manually restart the server in order to correct the issue.
