Only problem with that is, Valve has official partnered with Pinion and endorses what it's doing. According to one of the Pinion reps, there should be fixes for the crashes coming out Soon™.

But yeah, using the server browser and just favoriting some servers is a good way to avoid this.

Not using quickplay is a pretty dismissive solution to this problem.
Servers that lock people into watching the motd and cause player
crashes shouldn't be eligible for quickplay imo. Shouldn't be that
hard to code up a generator that reads the master list and parses out
a blacklist file for those servers with the public cvar set.

Just find a server you like and stick with it. Works fine for me. Perhaps
you might want to go to SPUF for your specific needs.

Subject: [hlds] Pinion Pot of Gold blacklist?


This is a bit out of the scope of this mailing list, but does anyone
have access to a list of servers using the Pinion Pot of Gold that I
would be able to import into my client? Normally I just blacklist by
hand, but this garbage is becoming too ubiquitous for that to be handy
anymore, as I just got Pinioned five servers in a row.

Thanks in advance, I'm sure I'm not the only one on these lists who is
sick and tired of dealing with this.
