VAC bans are delayed, so they won't be instantly banned for cheating, they get flagged, and then banned like a week later so that if they used multiple cheats, they don't know which one got them banned. In itself, it's a defense against cheat development. - Original Message -

So much for getting this fixed in a timely fashion, it's still borked! Seems the only thing they were intrested in addressing was the damn gift drop frequency! It's also been reported that if the server has a player connected, others trying to join get a message that it's not a joinable game.

I honestly think the major issue here is the fact that people seem to be able to make unlimited multiple accounts without any sort of oversight (either automated or manual). we have one particular nasty case of a player who loves to sexually harass female players, and is able to create a new

If thats TF2 and him using F2P accounts, consider using the F2P kick plugin. Another approach can be to give those female players miniadmin rights, so they can ban someone for a short time. Had to deal with about the same kind of stuff, where 1 player made it bad by cajoling up the others,

I think is Valve should make TF2 $3.99 or something very cheap. Free is ridiculous. Serious players would obviously still buy the game and the free-2-play issue would be greatly reduced if not eliminated if this was done. At least charge something, even if it's just a couple bucks. Then you can

Well, make it a requirement that there is at least 1 game paid of +10 dollars to use F2P games... then they have to buy a game to play. (and yes, exclude humble bundle ones). No, not gifted or traded, must be a purchase on the account. and inb4, Happy Christmas everybody.

Kicking all F2P isn't an option in my opinion, you'd be removing an entire playerbase over a few problem individuals. I also question the choice to hand out admin to players that are or claim to be female. The chance for abuse is just too high with an unknown individual; by the time anything could
