Quickplay will still respect sv_visiblemaxplayers, right? So if we run a 
32-slot server with visiblemaxplayers at 24, quickplay would never give us a 
25th player?

Thus, if we use SourceMods "sm_reserve_type 0" -- which only kicks 
non-slot-holding-players AS THEY TRY TO JOIN into a "full" server via console 
-- that would meet the new criteria? Quickplay would never try to stuff a 
player into a reserved slot, and Sourcemod would never kick a player who's 
already playing, only those trying to join via console.

As it has been mentioned by others, it sounds like this would be very hard to 
enforce, as someone from Valve would have to manually investigate reports of 
violators. We still want to play by the rules, though, and the more I think 
about it I agree with the rationale -- if you've been matched to a server which 
then seemingly at random kicks you for "Slot Reservation" that is indeed a bad 
player experience. (Though one which has certainly encouraged some of our 
players to donate to us).
