In L4D(2) you could manually unreserve the lobby which would fix these issues, however you still wouldn't be able to connect using matchmaking, only directly.
Is anyone interested in this? I could take a look.

Well I wait until like half of the players leave before rebooting it. But sometimes a server can have 1-5 players for hours before I even notice and that's VERY BAD. We spend huge amount of money hosting these servers and the players count on us. Its a really shitty move of Valve to ignore problems like this.

It is a hard problem. Do you just reboot as soon as you know the servers are back up and kill your player count then or do you wait for it to die off but have a killed player count as no one can join.

Valve should really figure that one our but I don't think they really care about community servers since they have their official casual and competitive servers.

    Well the big problem is that once the STEAM servers are up again,
     no new players can join the community servers until the server
    has 0 players or gets rebooted.

    So If I have 32/32 when STEAM goes down, no new players can join.
    After some time those 32 players on the server starts dropping and
    only when the last player leave the server - the new players can
    start joining again. Its so irritating when 1-2 players wont leave
    the server for hours, because then nobody else can play. And I
    cant sit and watch all our servers all day long and reboot it when
    the problem occurs.

    This problem has been here for MONTHS and nobody is saying
    anything or fixing it. Like the last problem with "session is
    full" the devs didn't even know about it even tho we reported it
    like 10 times here for several months. And once I sent one of them
    a private email, it got fixed in like two weeks. But now even that
    guy wont respond to my email about this problem.

    They do read the list some I'd hope so some sort of response once
    in a while could be nice.

    To a degree if Steam is down I can understand why people can't
    join since when people join a server it does track their data on
    steam and verify ownership with steam. If you can't verify that I
    can understand why it might kick players from joining the server.
    Why you can't run the server exempt from drops or Valves data
    tracking during that time is beyond me though.

            I sent reports and debug info to several Valve people from
            this list with no response in over a month.

            Why exactly does this list exist?
