You clearly weren't around a few months ago when this was the talk of
the town in these parts. Pretty much, every likely and unlikely scenario
was explored, including unpopular normal servers and servers with less
traffic. Only servers with extremely high player connections and
extremely high player-disconnects-with-minimal-playtimes will receive
the lowest of the low scores.

As was said hundreds of time, the delist system is meant to catch the
worst of the worst. There is no way to view your server ranking since
that would just create a new level of epeen comparing. You don't need to
worry about your ranking unless you are using questionable practices
like redirect servers and/or fake clients.

I'm also pretty sure that Steam Support doesn't read this list so they
probably aren't aware of the delisting issue, so I'm not surprised they
don't know about this stuff.

Oh and by the way, it's not automatic. Servers are manually delisted.
