I wouldn't be against the idea of servers coming pre-set with a 'Vanilla' tag by default, but only if there aren't any more shenanigans with falsifying the tag info. For example, John Doe decides to get a server going, so he downloads it, adds some custom gameplay elements, then uses a plug-in to keep the server with the only tag of 'Vanilla', while short/insta-spawn and low gravity, among other things, remain in play on his server.
For everyone who is going to play by the rules, what do you feel should become of those that skirt the system now? Would delisting be a fair solution? For those that will NOT be properly using tags as intended, why not? In my first e-mail in this thread, I posted a link to a thread in the Steam forums in which a server op said that he's not going to use tags purely to bring more traffic to his server. How do you all feel about this now? As a player, it's frustrating because it's basically a glimpse into the near-future and that glimpse tells me it's not going to get any better as I'm sure he won't be the only one who will do it. I guess there's going to be some falsifying of the tag info no matter what happens, but it'd be nice to keep it to a minimum. Also, for everyone that's responded here, thanks for making me feel better about going into the server browser now. It looks like it's not going to be that difficult to find the games I am looking for, save for the few holdouts who don't care about tricking people into connecting to their servers. Thank you all again for your time. -Richard Eid On Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 3:48 PM, SakeFox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > i was kinda surprised that when you turn cheats on it doesn't auto tag > > Ronny Schedel wrote: > >> IMO Valve should quickly add a "auto-tagging" feature like that. > >> > > > > There is already an auto tagging system.
