A good community and it's servers are supported by it's donors, not by highly intrusive advertisements.

It's as simple as this, a server forces you to see ads, leave it and don't come back. Why are you trying to be a Nazi government trying to control what server owners want to do. Look Valve, we pay for these servers okay. Dedicated servers aren't cheap, we need to make money to recovery costs. What you are basically doing is stunting one community's growth. If you continue to create features that will just add more and more restrictions for server owners, why don't you just become like one of the game publishers that don't even let users host dedicated servers. Just take away our server powers and how about this Valve? Why don't you just host all the servers for us and leave us the headache? How much extra server dollars will that cost you Valve, and also how much manpower will you need to maintain those 1000s of servers running plugins that people LOVE! It's easy for you to just toss up Vanilla servers in there with no configurations and setups but do realize the amount of hours and hardwork server owners put in their community. We build it from ground up. How would you like it Valve is "Example Gaming Regulation" told you, you can't push certain updates and release a set group of weapons and items. The point is this - we pay full cost for our communities, so let us do THINGS to cover for the cost. Otherwise, make srcds use less RAM and CPU so we don't have to buy expensive servers. I speak on behalf of many community owners who are irritated by people stirring up something every few weeks for no reason. Yeah I'm talking about you Doctor. Your TF2 would be NOTHING if it wasn't for us hard working community owners who provide great servers for your playerbase to play at. _______________________________________________ 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
