Usefull plugins/mods to have:
Sourcemod, http://www.sourcemod.net/
Sourcebans, http://www.sourcebans.net/ (especially if you have multiple
servers, runs on sourcemod)
Automatic anticheats, runs on sourcemod. KAC, SMAC, etc. Google for more.
List of cvars.. found some interesting one? Type it in server console
without a value and you get a line what it does.
That should get you started. Server ranks are irrelevant. Run a server
where players play and you'll be just fine.

Hi, I run a TF2 podcast so I'm hardly new but administering servers
has only ever been something I'm half interested in. That said we have
some shiny new boxes and now I'd rather like to put some more effort
into monitoring and tweaking these to make them as easy as possible
for people to find.
Is there a list of cvars anywhere with clear descriptions of what they
are, how to use them in and what combination to apply them?
Also, much is said on this mail list about monitoring servers. Is this
done with something other than hlsw? As to server popularity, how do
you tell what rank your server has?
Lastly, something that seems quite dear to this group... Delisting; is
there a list of modifications and tweaks that are permitted before
your server stops getting quickplay visitors?
Sorry for the noob questions. Just looking for the rules and links to
monitoring software/sites.
