A couple questions about sv_workshop_allow_other_maps: You mentioned previously that the API keys were used to potentially rate limit servers. Is there any more information on how this works?An example concern, a malicious user goes into a server and starts reserving every map in the workshop to consume unnecessary space and bandwidth on the server.
Would this count against that API key? Do the downloaded maps stay on the server after the reservation? If it stays on the server, will they be in the same directory as the /workshop maps (is there an easy way to delete the maps in necessary)?
