First of all I'm getting tired of weeding through 50 or so email's a day of just pure conversation. This is a not a social forum, if you want to chat then take it to personal emails or some other form of communication.
It's also needed to be spamming the mailing list whenever you encounter a hacker on your server and want him banned. This is the HLDS mailing not a VAC mailing list. On top of that it's unfair to encourage a multitude of admins to black list someone on a single incident that occurred on your server. Admins should make a decision on bans for player actions on their servers alone; eventually VAC will catch habitual cheaters. So please, can we keep the mailing list to helping Valve fix the horde of issues with L4D dedicated servers right now. My real problem which has my clients pissed off and is starting to rub me the wrong way now is the fact that once a single person from our community group joins the server it seems to lock it from any other players from joining. I've tried using and not using sv_search_key, sv_steamgroup_exlusive, sv_lobby_connect_only. None of it works; once someone from the group joins the server that's it. Obviously no one from matchmaking is having a problem because I've already served more than 400 players from matchmaking today alone. I myself have been able to join the server from the main menu when there have been 3 players from matchmaking in it. I might just have to remove sv_steamgroup from my server.cfg but I doubt my clients would even bother to directly connect or use sv_search_key when they can just join a random dedicated server. The whole issue has me baffled and frustrated, my clients can essentially join anyone else's server (through matchmaking) but mine. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
