On first hand experience of my servers being banned by valve, im gonna help you, all of this info has came from Fletcher so im not inventing anything.
- Valve doesn't ban IP ranges, but "communities" or "server brands", that means if you have 100 servers but only one is infringing a rule, you get banned all of the 100 servers since they belong to the same community. - Changing an IP doesn't resolve anything, the only thing thing you will get is the new IP banned and the ban time reset, read the line above. - Bans (Both quick play (tfgs account) and master list) lasts for 1 month and as far i know you can't make them shorter. - Doesn't matter if the server have quick play enabled, if you lie (intentionally or not) you're eligible for a punishment. I would contact Fletcher about this as there have been times that my servers stopped to show on the master list, he will tell you if your servers are indeed banned and the reason. 2012/2/19 Michael Johansen <[email protected]> > > The problem is that the servers that caused this aren't running QuickPlay, > my guess is that the tradeserver or the surf server caused it to be > delisted, and neither of those is quickplay-eligeble as they run custom > maps.
