As I recall, the message in server console on server start does not
change if you are banned. You just wouldn't receive quickplay traffic
(or even be unable to connect to steam servers). I'm not sure about this
but in some message, i bet someone from Valve said it here on these lists.
There isn't a cvar for checking the reputation numbers and it doesn't
matter if your server has 100 000 or 5 000 000 reputation, they are
still on the same line. Valve just wants to weed out the very bad from
the servers that are ok so you won't benefit from higher reputation at all.
For example, the servers i have, most popular ones, have less than 600
000 while the oldest ones have millions. Yet the newer ones populate
first every single day. Though the older ones run custom maps, the other
occasionally, the other, nearly all the time which also affets them a lot.
If you want to check your servers reputation, just for your own
statistical purposes (like i occasionally do), this plugin enables it

When you start your server up it will have a line that will display if you
are banned from the servers or not I believe.

How do you get this reputation stuff? Using some plugins or is there a

Also if you get the reputation callback it has a line for banned or not.
EX:
Reputation: 221005
Banned: false

It was explained on this very list ages ago.
As well as complains about some bball servers being banned due to that
under 15 minute rule.
Check the list archives, but it was sometime after this I think:

Far as I recall that system is in place on all Source games.

Except if everyone leaves your server after connecting then your
server
gets auto delisted.
You'd need a new IP then. As those delists are IP based (not just
IP and
Port).

It's pointless to quell them when they can just make a new

I can't imagine it's a painless process, there probably is
some

What is the point in running servers like this? I'm actually
interested
in
how fooling people to come to your servers does you any good
-
do they
somehow monetize stupid people?

TF2 doesn't have group functions. This leads me to believe
that
there
is a
back end ban on anyone in the group(s) from registering
servers
and
using
QuickPlay. This would be unfair to the innocent casualties;
but
also
would
seem that they could just leave the group and register, or
just
create
a
new steam account that is not part of the groups to get
around
it...
Perhaps there is better system in place that VALVe is not
telling us
about?....

Last week the TF2 team banned some server groups that
were in
violation
of
the Policy of Truth.
We received numerous complaints from server operators
about a

of
servers, and we investigated those reports. Any action we
have
taken
was
based upon violations that we witnessed firsthand.
Bans are applied to the group itself, not to any
particular IP
address
range.
These bans will last 6 weeks.
Thank you,
