Valve is looking into delisting bad servers in order to improve the player experience for most TF2 players. Your server is configured incorrectly (arguably) in such a way that reserved slots show as open, available slots to the general public. When players try to fill one of those spots, they get to do about 30 seconds to 1 minute of map loading before your server kicks them.
It is so easy for you to fix that situation, but you don't seem to care about all the kicked players... by your own estimation, it's 10 attempts per minute, so if it takes about 30 seconds per player before they're kicked, that comes to 30sec*10*60*24=432000 seconds (5 days!) per day of wasted player time that could be spent on servers where the admin made the very simple change required to hide reserved slots. Granted, you don't see that connection rate 24-hours per day, so we can cut it down and figure that you're really only wasting about what, 12 hours of cumulative game time for other players every single day? So yes, for many, many players out there, YOU are directly responsible for part of the "bad user experiences". The several replies to your earlier message from people saying your server is the kind of server that should be delisted should have been a clue to that. Fix your reserved slots so their hidden, and everybody is happy. See how easy that is? _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
