What Bjorn said is my main concern. I didn't name any communities since
i also think attacking a single community does not remove the problem.
However, i am deeply furstrated in the matter due to the fact that these
communities get the traffic that is off from legitimate servers. I know
for a fact that my servers could be full sooner than they are now but
the 3 communities next door are cheating off the traffic.

One of my observations is that people are probably getting frustrated
with the lack of attention or comments on the matter. I'm sure valve
knows about the issue, but not a lot seems to be done. I have admins
on my staff that are getting extremely frustrated because they go to
Quickplay, and end up in a string of servers that abuse the system
(which they F7) and the folks running "proper" servers get the short
end of the stick because it feels like these unscrupulous individuals
are "stealing" traffic from the legitimate operators.

If people want to spend their time as the "quickplay police force",
that's fine by me - but I believe Valve has said on numerous occasions
that this mailing list is not the place to "name and shame" other
server operators. There are proper venues for reporting perceived
violations, and this list isn't one o f them.
Do I think people who aren't setting the proper tags should be dropped
from quickplay? Absolutely.....but pointing fingers in a public forum
just leads to the more nefarious readers of this list into doing
things (like attacking the servers/community in question) against
operators that may or may not be doing anything wrong. It's easy to
accuse people (and equally easy to falsify "evidence") - but the only
people here whose responsibility to dole out punishment should be the
Valve team.
So - how about we have enough respect for each other to use the proper
channels for these reports, as opposed to starting virtual witch hunts.
