You realize what you ask for is more than just one convar, right? It's a whole new scenario that has to be implemented. Not to mention, without reworking the way the client discovers a group's servers, it would be vulnerable to the same problem that exists now and solve nothing.

Yes, it depends on which steamgroups you are in, for instance I only have my own steamgroups and nothing extra but still I see servers that are not mine. Since somebody decided to allow l4d2 servers to be assigned to multiple steamgroup id's it really started to explode. Perhaps now that your busy (valve) with the new campaign for l4d2, you could install something that prevents this "riding on the success of others" server abusers. Maybe a special code in your steamgroup, that you set in l4d2 or something else as simple as that... (or for starters, only allow 1 steamgroup or at least minimize it) I think that most people on the list can understand the effort one has put into its own community to just see somebody else take advantage of it *is wrong* This is in my opinion the same as those tf2 servers that had redirects in it and false players (I am sure some still exist, but you all know what I mean) Thanks for listening, Eric _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
