Why not just require servers that run advertisements to add an "ads" tag, then add two checkboxes to quickplay:
1) Disable servers with ads 2) Change maxplayers to 32 Much like those who were running fake clients, penalize those who are attempting to hide their ad-based server tags by removing them from quickplay. This method would also allow for 32 player servers to effectively compete in the quickplay market (another argument, I know). This change hardly affected our servers due to most the benefits users play with via the MOTD are for donors only, which quickplayers wont have access to anyway. However, this does mean that I will personally never click the quickplay button again, due to potential lost user experience with various mods (radio is a big one). Not that one user means anything to Valve though. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
