Yes, I have considered it, and no. Ads itself are a separate topic/issue to be discussed, and I don't see an objective basis for this when people with their companies are involved and are moderating this. This quickly reminds me of how the UN is arranged and veto powers are being abused there to absurdity (or rather politics in general). I don't know you personally, how could I have something against you as a person? To be honest, judging from the posts by Patrick, I might as well return that question. To me (and a few others) it seemed pretty obvious that he was spreading false information in order to get the csgo motd issue fixed. It also didn't help the cause that he quickly tried to defame people who brought up valid concerns about advertising. Outside of this mailing list even threats of lawsuits from his side have happened. I also have a few guesses regarding how you get ad support for motds for various games, so there would be another conflict of interest as well. No, I do not want that to happen and I don't see this particular behavior being helpful.

I've been playing Team Fortress 2 long before motdgd even existed, have you ever considered that the reasons are actually personal/informal? I go back as far as the days of WON and Team Fortress Classic. However it seems to me that you have a personal grudge with me which is very unfortunate.

    One of the mods in that group belongs to motdgd. Sorry, not going
    to join that group. Conflict of interest. I do not want TF2 to suck.

        Like I said before, it is way too late for an angry post on
        reddit.

        Many of you thought these changes would just kill off the
        "bad" servers which "obviously" excluded your own, and
        applauded Valve and even asked for more and more restrictions.

        Community players are the minority now. Just last week I
        talked to a player who had no idea that community servers
        existed even though he was in one.

        All the communities that spammed /r/tf2 to get players have
        irreversibly died (it would take them years to rebuild now)
        and have no incentive to help. In fact I see them insulting
        the communities that are still around. If they failed, then
        others must too.

        When competitive matchmaking comes out sometimes early next
        year, that will be the final nail in the coffin for
        community servers. There's not much we can do other than to
        serve as a warning to never get involved with anything Valve
        does beyond playing their game. Don't get involved with
        their ecosystem as they will screw you over whenever it
        suits them.
