It's a server discussion mailing list, we, the server operators make the call
on advertisements.
No need for SPUF, perfectly valid here.

Here’s an idea. Why don’t one of you stalwarts create an in game ad
blocker. J But then of course you’d have to advertise it
to get people to use it. ;)

Players would probably get VAC banned for modifying motd on client using a

Nah, thats a blacklist for in TF2, so you don't see those servers.
technically its not a ad-blocker. creating the hosts file to block the advert

I tried this a few updates back and ultimately the solution was to change
the motdfile and mapcyclefile cvars to point to those as well.
Best of luck.

Evidently, Pinion has implemented procedures to delay the game for players
who block their ad server in their hosts file. I haven't looked at the code
though, I'm only going from what SPUF has spewed forth.
Honestly, just blacklisting the servers is your best bet. If you believe

No matchmaking? Expect a ton of MvM servers to disappear then. Especially
in locations where valve doesn't have any servers.
No incentive to host it really. You can't build a community around that,
not unless you make it custom and rely on the server browser more.

It used to be that server owners used to actually run good servers and the
thrill of running a thriving community was reward enough.

MvM is pretty much matchmaking only unless you make it custom.
It's not that kind of game mode. You don't really have an mvm community.
The rest of TF2 game modes are though.
