Re: [hlds_linux] Prevent game servers from redirecting players to alternate servers when players connect through quickplay
Fully support what you've been saying Dr. McKay many make fun for my communities' rules (the main one is simply Don't be a dick) because they either don't like consequences that happen because of their actions or they just feel they should be able to do or say whatever they want wherever they go because it's a free country. 1) My server isn't a country -- you don't like it go somewhere else if you can't play by the rules set forth. 2) Players who are trolls or dicks are dealt with as they are disruptive to a community who prides themselves on being just that: A COMMUNITY (no matter how small or large). If you want to ruin others' fun, go elsewhere. Our servers are modded for a fun factor, not for Quickplay for for hardcore TF2 purists and we run our servers to suit the play style or desire of fun that OUR community enjoys. Having said that, we do have one server which *IS* quickplay enabled and it has all but died out as we hardly see ANY traffic anymore and this seems to be putting the nail in the coffin. I am a strong supporter of the server admins/owners and the communities they run, who help make the TF2 community as a whole what it is from the get go, now.they are getting kicked in the teeth just because a heavy hand comes down to deliver justice to a few but punishing the rest of us. I just wish there was a way for server owners who operated communities (small, medium and large) to be able to protest and make a statement to valvethe problem is, valve doesn't seem to care and a protest would only further drive people to their servers anyways. Will there be a TF3 and this sort of treatment continue? I don't know, but my community is already looking for another game or multiple games to get intoso even if these changes don't affect me as much as other server owners, I still wanted to voice my support for Dr. McKay and all those others who have spoken up against these changes by Valve.

Congratulations on attacking a straw man. I don't need to defend myself against the likes of you, but I'll do it anyway just to humor you. You come on my servers, you break a rule, an admin tells you to stop. You refuse to comply. You get banned. You come on one of my servers and wear my community's tag without going through the membership process. The server removes the tag from your name and informs you why. You decide to replace the brackets with parenthesis to get around the restriction. You get renamed by an admin. You continue to do it, you get banned.

Re: [hlds_linux] Prevent game servers from redirecting players to alternate servers when players connect through quickplay
Because it's becoming apparent that Valve isn't that concerned about the communities.wonder if there were a large number of server owners who decided to boycott for a weekend or week and take down all their servers. I know, I know it would punish the general player and most server owners wouldn't want to shoot themselves in the foot.but there has to be *something* the general server owner community, who are a major backbone of the tf2 servers out there, can do (or not do) to send a message to valve that they are slowly killing the communities that help bring in the revenue they so enjoy (hats, etc). I simply don't understand why for the sake a few, the masses are handcuffed. /end rant On Thu, Jan 23, 2014 at 8:32 PM, Yun Huang Yong gumby_li...@mooh.orgwrote: +1 I don't understand what seems to be a general stance of we have a few bad actors therefore we should change feature X to the detriment of everyone.

Re: [hlds_linux] Invisible players and/or airblast hack?
You sure it wasn't someone using plugins on their server such as the sourcemod alpha plugin (where those with the ability to use the command can turn invisible).some communities have events where they just screw around for an hour or two or seven.could have joined a server that was doing that, and the person who replied to you was either in your same boat or they were being sarcasticjust a thought.
