seems easy enough
If anything the spotter needs to be doing the busy work.
I usually tell my sniper to do whatever unless I ask for help.
It's logical that due to the limited sniper squads (and its good they have a limit) that the first one to join is spotter. Only new eager players won't know that.
I've only been kicked out of a sniper squad twice. Once was a dude who asked to be spotter and tricked me then created a locked squad, never fallen for that one again, the other was when my spotter left and the new spotter came in, kicked me and got his friend to join. I've never seen anyone kick the sniper to create an available sniper squad. I've seen spotters leave, leaving the sniper to fend on their own and then you get messages in chat saying will someone be my spotter.
But of course, until you leave the sniper role, its not available to that sniper squad, so you can be a solo sniper (not part of any squad) until you die and the sniper squad is stuck with a spotter and rifleman, as there can only be two snipers on a team. So don't die and stick it to them. Oh was that vindictive... (unless they've fixed that)
All I can say is keep trying, when I'm not with my friend I play spotter (level 10) and let anyone in, because I know it's a hard role to get. 99% of the time when I grab sniper I just follow the spotter and everything is fine, least thats my experience and I have quiet a few hours under my belt.
Maybe it's the servers you're playing on. Each server seems to have a different sort of crowd.
I usually prefere to recon squad leader.
Too many whiny kids at level 5 or 10 wanting to play sniper and then screwing it up giving away positions and not covering at all.
