I'm sorry, but you're talking mince. Hat effects are not and never have been an issue. The issue is falsely representing servers, especially by making gameplay changes without the corresponding tag change. i.e. changing the respawn times, gravity, random crits etc. and also not changing the tags, especially for tags which affect quickplay eligibility. Valve don't give a shit about hat effects.

Eventually people will learn and just blacklist your server. The biggest thing is that valve will eventually realize that players are just leaving before 15 minutes and throw your server into the deep hole that you will never come out of, but yes I do understand where you are coming from. Valve wont do anything to most of the servers that are hacking as they are "too important" to be removed, i.e. lotusclan. They run still to this day with the hat effects that if I tried to run would get a big no no from Valve. So yeah, valve is picking favorites and I understand why as well.
