The easiest way in my opinion, is to install slot reserved. We got 5 servers
which are full almost non stop since the F2P update. One of those is
reserved for community member where they can connect when they want, and
that's the best system we got so far. More the F2P players aren't so bad (at
A mailing list is for discussion, if you wanted Valve's official word you're

Most of those servers should probably just turn off quickplay instead, it's
a much nicer way to keep out random players if that is the server owner's

Registering your server automatically enables it for quickplay, which you
can then opt-out of if you wish.
