If you read my statement I did not call for Valve to ban anyone who uses the plugin. I called for them to ban all servers who are in violation of the policy. I did find that of the 39 servers I looked at none of them had modified their sv_tags. My point is the violations are rampant. Please do not put words in my mouth. There are hundreds of servers who have not taken these steps are using a fast respawn plugin and still benefiting from quickplay. Honestly I think Valve is either not able to or just isn't regulating this so I would prefer the policy just be changed so those of us who use mp_respawnwavetimes. I get more complaints about the respawn times being too long than I do for cheaters and griefers. It is obvious more servers are violating this policy than aren't.

Fast Respawn without tags OK? Yeah - let's not start saying that simply using that plugin is in violation of the rules, bud. We run it, but we have modified it to insure the "respawn_times" is added to the server browser when it is enabled (we also add the "noquickplay" tag for good measure). Running that plugin is NOT a violation - running it without modifying it to add the proper tags is (which, by the way, is painfully easy). Let's not start trying to get Valve to ban broad swaths of servers simply for using a certain plugin. There are many of us who have gone to great strides to take those plugins that failed to add the proper tags and modify/rewrite them so as to maintain compliance with Valve's rules. Calling for valve to simply issue blanket bans for their use is a ridiculous idea. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds
