I have to say I'm with Dan on this one, and he often seems to stand
alone, so I felt I had to say something.
Having monitored this group for nearly 2 years, I have come to the
conclusion that it is mostly populated
by youngsters, who have no life experience to speak of. The excuses used
here by some that "Valve never
said we couldn't do this" or "there's nothing in the rules that say we
can't do this", leads me to believe that
they rely on parents to tell them when they are doing wrong and they
simply can't work it out for themselves.
This latest trend of using a plugin to switch on Quickplay up to 24
players, and then when at 24/24 switch off Quickplay
and convert the server to 32 players, instaspawn, with the argument that
"tell us where we are breaking the Policy of
Truth rules", is quite frankly mind boggling. Lets just forget about
those players who thought they were joining a
stock TF2 server and who end up with 24/7 32 man 2fort spammage, because
it's fine as Valve never said that
using this particular plugin this was wrong. No Heroes (cough).
I blame Pinion as it has opened the gates for children to run servers.
Good old fashioned honesty, decency and integrity,
not to mention thinking of the players and not your pockets. You learn
these things as adults.
Why Valve backtracked on their latest purge of bans is beyond me. They
have lost their backbone and I'm extremely
disappointed. I hope they find their backbone again soon.

Yeah his was such an erudite and polite message.
