Unfortunately, they are probably going to just let it stay hacked. Since they have said they aren't going to chase the fake clients issue due to more bugs being introduced by patching against it, why bother with the forums? Fix one hole, someone finds another. Oh well, it was a good community

Hey Fletcher, Thanks for your reply. I have much appreciation for Valve at least saying this is wrong. When I've contacted admins for a few communities, they said they would stop if Valve said to do so. This seems to be a clear message to cease these activities.

So, this has been brought to light several times in the past and Valve ignores anyone's request for even a stance on the matter. You've got about five large communities built up on false stats, begging for money and trying to deceive new players with server plugins. When is Valve going to take a

The reason some admins are worried is because they are treading into muddy waters and now there's a way for people to report their activities. I have a feeling Valve is only going to be dealing with player abuse, since it is much easier to suspend accounts over porn sprays than to delist 50
