Hey guys, if you all want to fight, take it to Steam messages, some of
us use the mailing list for real issues, not bickering.

Quoting Doctor McKay <[email protected]>:
As I'm sure most are aware, a little while ago Valve changed the TF2 MOTD
panel so that it can't be reopened by the server if the client joins via
Quickplay (or using the matchmaking argument on the connect command).
However, this just prevents the MOTD panel itself from redisplaying. The
server can still open pages in the client's MOTD panel in the background.
This means that the server can still spam traffic-to-cash URLs on clients,
many of which have noise-making Flash embedded or which open popup windows
using JavaScript. In order to maintain the "sterile bubble" in Quickplay,
Valve might want to consider preventing servers from opening webpages on
Quickplay-joining clients entirely, not just preventing the panel from
being redisplayed.
