If people want to spend their time as the quickplay police force, that's fine by me - but I believe Valve has said on numerous occasions that this mailing list is not the place to name and shame other server operators. There are proper venues for reporting perceived violations, and this list

One of my observations is that people are probably getting frustrated with the lack of attention or comments on the matter. I'm sure valve knows about the issue, but not a lot seems to be done. I have admins on my staff that are getting extremely frustrated because they go to Quickplay, and end

What Bjorn said is my main concern. I didn't name any communities since i also think attacking a single community does not remove the problem. However, i am deeply furstrated in the matter due to the fact that these communities get the traffic that is off from legitimate servers. I know for a

You must think Valve cares about server operators breaking the rules they set forth or something. Valve has more important things to do such as making new hats and promo items. Here's an idea to contact Valve since they do not seem to read the mailing list: File a bug on their github (

Fletcher Dunn and Alfred Reynolds from Valve both participate on this mailing list all the time, so I'm not sure why you think no one from Valve does. On Fri, May 31, 2013 at 1:17 PM, Brian Simon bluebriansi...@gmail.comwrote: You must think Valve cares about server operators breaking the rules

Plenty of others from Valve also read this list. I'm sure they saw the message. I also do know they prioritize things. Sometimes it takes about 2 months, sometimes week, sometimes it's end of the pile and nothing happens. It's all about how urgent something is or how urgent they see it. I

[hlds] CS:GO not initialising VAC

Hello guys, This week something weird started to happen with me. I have a machine where I host some CS, CSS and CSGO servers. They are running well, but when I create a new CS:GO server it doesn't connect to VAC. I've tried to change IP/Port, redownload all files again, but the problem is still

On the CS:GO mailing list, several people running CS:GO servers on Windows (seems to be happening to Windows servers only) experience the same problem, so I don't think it's a problem on your end. On Sat, Jun 1, 2013 at 2:02 AM, Felipe Fujihara felipete...@hotmail.comwrote: Hello guys, This

Let's not bite the hand that feeds us We're the one providing Valve's player base with a place to play. Without us, they would have to foot the bill for every server that's required to handle all the various games players, which as we've seen a-la other companies retiring games and shutting down

Or they could just do like some servers are already doing and throw obnoxious ads in clients faces. Having said that, Valve already runs their own TF2 servers and I doubt they're anywhere near full at the moment. On Fri, May 31, 2013 at 4:59 PM, Eli Witt eliw...@gmail.com wrote: Let's not bite

They do run servers and direct mainly the new players to them first. They could run 1000's of TF2-servers themselves but then the most important thing would be missing. Communities that run servers, tie players to particular games as there are familiar faces playing on those servers that keeps
