They have a system for tf2, which makes running a redirect server or
fakeserver pointless. It leads eventually to delisting bad servers. So
whenever player connects and leaves, the server loses only points. I
wouldn't be surprised if the system has already spread to other games
too. Perhaps not to cs 1.6 though.

Valve controls the master sever list. They don't like fake server either. Let
them know and see what happens. It can't hurt.

Lawyers will do nothing. Valve isn't hosting those fake servers.
Someone is, so track down IP, and call ISP that IP belongs to.
And if someone is faking Valve's master server list, it isn't Valve fault.
Every communication is possible to interrupt and master server communication is
not an exception.
It would be insane to sue Apache foundation, because i would call my vhost for
example microsssssoft.lt
Think with your heads, people!..

I wouldn't bother with the lawyers, just trademark it and then just ask valve.
If they don't do anything, then get the lawyers.
Always make sure that you have your trademarks in order, or else someone can just come
along and trademark it "for you" and basically take over your community name.
AG had to become a company, so you might have to look into becoming an llc or something.
It's not cheap, but so worth it. Then again, they were in canada, so check local laws.
Anyway, back to the servers...

geez....do I have to hold your hand to the "big boy's room"?
I gave you a potential solution....get your community name
trademark.....hire a lawyer to send Valve a notice of trademark infringement
(caused by fake servers claiming your trademark)...then perhaps sue if Valve
does nothing.
Case closed.
Sure, it may be expensive.....but it's either the threat of a lawsuit or you
give Valve a boatload of money to fix it; carrot or the stick (preferably, a
stick with thorns on it)

Why shouldn't VALVE fix it?
Its fake, the server isn't really there and the players isn't there. The
servers is there only for advertise in serverbrowser.
Its not about the names, its about the serverlist getting BIG and messy.
Its harder to find good REAL servers that works.
