Victor, I don't think that would be considered an issue now (due to the
clarification) as I read it, one bad apple (complainer) won't spoil the
bunch (the rest of the server who is having fun)....

Like you, we have occasional nights where we make an announcement and it's
called "Drunk Admin Night"....and our community has tons of fun with it, and
they know the admins will occasionally abuse the populous for a laugh
(without affecting objectives or overall gameplay), but the whole server is
in on it, except when we get some randoms who will come in and not know and
when asked, we tell them.  They can choose to stay, or go.....but I know
some of them will now "register a server complaint" for abuse.  Having the
explanation we got from Fletch, i am no longer "worried" about the overall
intent of the system).....so when valve looks into it, and sees either the
context or that it is not "abusive" for the sake of it.....it's done for fun
and the populace HAS fun in return, then there shouldn't be too much to
worry about.  (Plus, I can only drink so much, but have regulars sending me
IM's asking "When's the next 'Drunk Admin Night', the last one was a
blast!!!" LOL)

Hope that helps clear it up a bit better for you....
