Today, we're seeing a ton of banned, griefing players using VPNs and throw-away Steam accounts to bypass server bans. The problem already seems to be pretty widespread in CS:S. Considering this is the first weekend where the beta was opened up, it's only going to get worse. I'm sure this isn't isolated to CS:S, or my servers. There are many others running community servers, some probably not even using Source that are impacted by this. The native Steam Exploit seems to be getting abused quite heavily.
