Nobody likes ads. Nobody like to be forced to watch ads instead of playing the game. Forcing players to watch ads in the middle of the rounds is way over the line in my opinion.But ads can also be good as long as they dont are forced like I know some communitys does. Its expensive running servers and I pointed out a few months ago that Valve should try harder to give us better options to show off our sponsors etc in a way that is not annoying for the players. Anyway.. The rules plugin DOES work on our servers if you are using webshortcuts plugin from alliedmodders.You can type !rules and get a a page up that shows the rules. You can have a menu that allows players to get other information too like servers, contact etc.But you cannot click on ads on these pages for some reason. So that part is broken and for me that is okay because ads still work in the main MOTD window when a player connects. So rules works. You cannot force players to watch ads(?) and you can still get some ads showing then they first connect.Sounds like it works like it should. In my opinion.

You also seem to think that all the people criticizing (not your phrasing) ads are players, and not server-ops. I can only speak for myself, but I am part of a community.

I personally use MOTDgd as source of money for my community/hosting company and I wouldn’t be able to host any of my servers without them. There is a reason why you hardly find big communities with quality servers without ads, and that is because it costs a lot of money to maintain a good and stable server. For example I pay 120$ AT LEAST for each of my machines in order to guarantee DDoS protection, stable framerate, and a stable connection, and even after all this money it’s sometimes impossible to respect those parameters. I offer quality servers on CSS and CSGO and I believe that not many others offer what I manage to offer. Half a million players played on my servers last month. Now, if you truly think adverts make this game unplayable and broken then you can feel free to take the holy money out of your pocket (because you seem to be rich), host your servers in loss, waste 4+ hours a day to maintain them and watch your bank account decrease happily. I don’t deny that there are some servers out there abusing the system, but I don’t think that players are that stupid to join those specific servers twice, there is a blacklist function for that. I provide free gameservers to people that can’t pay for servers thanks to MOTDgd, how is this bad? There are companies out there taking money from clients just to set the nice (priority) of a process, charging $1 per slot and nobody bats an eye, then a guy decides to host a gameserver and finance it using adverts and everyone loses their mind. What people here are whining about is that they want a good service for free because they “paid the game”, but that is wrong when it comes to community servers, they’re not run by valve. If you want to play ad free, expecting everything to be what you paid for, then join Valve servers. So yes, all in all: if you want to play on ad-free servers, play on valve servers or on servers run by rich people. Otherwise accept the fact that there are people like me, out there, that try to provide a good service and expect to be supported by those playing on their servers. Back to the main topic: let’s please find a solution to this issue, those that do not want this bug to be corrected then please stay out of the discussion.
