I think this is a terrible idea. We only bad F2P users from our trade servers because they serve no purpose, and are consuming our much needed slots for no reason. Having our server's rep decreased when we are trying to make it more beneficial for traders would be absurd. I agree there are some places where such a mod would not be good, but on trade servers, it's going to become a necessity.
With all due respect to the OP, the point of the mailing list is to have a discussion about server related issues. This is a server related issue, therefore, is eligible for discussion.

Yeah it would be pretty easy to implement. If a f2p client connects, then 2 seconds later is kicked, decrease the server's rep by 10 points or something. -- Kind regards, Saul Rennison On 4 July 2011 18:25, Spencer 'Voogru' MacDonald <voo...@voogru.com> wrote: > > Valve can just penalize servers that ban f2p players if they so wish to. > > > On 7/4/2011 3:39 AM, Victor Hawley Jr. wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> >> >> I don't want to start a debate or discussion on the mailing list, but I'm >> sure most of us have heard of the plugin that automatically kicks players >> that are detected as non-payers on TF2.
