All of you have valid points I think. *But I whole heartedly agree with Robert and E. Olsen. It is really important we stick together now more than ever.*
I've made a group and lots have joined it. I can't tell which of you guys have or haven't. However I'm discussing this with several in group chat. One mentioned the L4D2 protest that actually got a decent response from Valve. The group had 13K members. So presenting an argument to Valve is possible. I'm going to be making a website with the help of another few people to present our arguments. If you'd like input, please by all means join the group and be active in it. I'd like all of you guys to help and we need all the help we can get. Use every link to our advantage. Education is key. I had to explain to an old player what all of this was even about since it isn't just new players who have no idea but old players who rarely use QP too. I remember explaining all of this to several regular spuffers who were confused at the drop of traffic on many servers. *People don't care because they don't know. So let us join together and help tell people.* *We need a unified front.* On 12 February 2015 at 00:53, Peter Jerde <peter-h...@jerde.net> wrote: > > On Feb 11, 2015, at 18:26 PM, Robert Paulson <thepauls...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > Now we can't even have reserved slots if the server is full and an admin > needs to get in to handle a ban report. > > That's not true.
