My point was merely that eventually, we'll just be left with the big
that the game isn't being made for the
server operator, but for the player. You'd have caught that point if

This practice of demonizing other groups to get Valve to change their

There's no way the 1,528 Valve servers are contributing to that.

There's also a problem where you can't manually set tags that are set by
the game. For example, if I have a plugin to modifies respawn times, I
