Is there any way to stop the server from displaying these messages when someone tries to join? Unfortunately, banning him by STEAM_ID ( STEAM_0:0:18656375) doesn't help. If TF2 server doesn't allow this, is there a Sourcemod plugin?

Re: [hlds] 2003 or 2008
Server 2003 will do you fine - tried and true my friend... tried and true. Also - depending on how many gameservers you will be running from this box, you'll want much more RAM, at least 4096MB I would say. Good luck!

Re: [hlds] Achievement Farmer Honeypot
What you're saying is you'll ban anyone who gets an achievement. So many of the achievements are obtained by simply paying the game.. right? I have a better solution... just turn your server off! Problem fixed! I understand about farming, but banning anyone who gets an achievement is about the most foolish thing I've heard. It saddens me that you used your talent at scripting to write such silliness.

Re: [hlds] Achievement Farmer Honeypot
lol... so you're drawing them in, just to ban them? that sounds a lot like griefing now that I see it. You sound like one of those misled vigilantes that smoke drugs with a drug dealer to catch him with drugs...we prefer to prevent farming by running normal servers that are full of folks that want to play, rather than hosting achievement maps. Good luck to you, by the end of the week no one will want to visit your server!

It is designed to be used as a honeypot - a server that looks like a normal achievement grinding server. My server is running achievement_scout, and the only reason to join a server running that map is to farm achievements. If you didn't have the intention of cheating and farming achievements, you wouldn't be there in the first place.
