Of course, but if you want to ban someone who runs 30 servers with bad plugins, you can easily get rid of the guy by banning IP instead of 100000+ IP:Port combinations.

GSP's run usually a system where client has ip:port and those cannot be changed by client. I for example, run a machine with unlimited ports and several IP's that i can use if i want to.

IP bans are only viable solution - or a system where you have account which is used to authenticate and log in with the server in order to get it connected but for CSGO, that system does not exist yet.

Sure, it's easy to switch port but all the people that have favourited your server lost it from their list.

Valve really need to take a step back and reassess this entire situation as it's clearly backfired big-time and now affecting peoples income through no fault of their own.

    They ban the IP because it's so much easier to just switch port

        Hello, Vitaliy and dear CS:GO developers!

        Can you, please, not block whole IP and just block pair of
        IP:port?

        I am gameservers hosting provider and found gameservers of my
        clients, who
        dont break the rules, not unavailable. Its killing for those
        business!

        Also banned CS:GO Competitive servers, not available for
        plugin installation
        on my hosting. Its absolutely horribly thing to block whole IP
        instead of a
        small number of servers (ports) on this IP!

        I am individual entrepreneur in hard work on my last some
        years just gone in
        one moment after this block tactic.

        Please, dont let gameservers business suffer cause of some
        clients, who
        break Valve rules about skins. Block this client (IP:port) and
        dont block
        whole IP with innocent users.

        Hope you unban my affected IP-s and change bans logic:
