I'd like to add that I don't give a damn about the process/detection behind it. If I were to get a single screenshot of some sort of skin-menu for example with the ip in it, that would be enough for me.

Also, I'd like to further express, that while I requested handling/punishing those servers through an interface like this, and while I also welcome the further measurements to be taken upon a violation, raising the stakes will just also raise my lack of trust in the system that is lacking transparency as is.

Maybe list some of the reasons for why servers were banned? Because people saying they not breaking any rules and still get banned points to plugins that might not be seen as breaking the guidelines.

Subject: Re: [Csgo_servers] [ GSLT ] - User accounts will also receive a temporary cooldown when their Game Server Login Token gets banned.

"We have been monitoring tokens of servers operators complaining about their GSLT bans, and haven’t encountered a case yet where a GSLT ban was applied incorrectly."

Is there a way to get some transparency here?
The way I see it I can't believe either side. The one's complaining about their servers presumably being banned for nothing, or "you" for simply saying servers were always rightfully banned. The lack of transparency simply confuses others and discourages us from hosting servers for this game.

    Recently we have banned multiple Game Server Login Tokens because
    servers using them were violating the guidelines. All servers
    determined to be in violation of the guidelines are tracked via
    their GSLT to the owner’s Steam User Account.

    We ban all of the existing GSLTs of this Steam User Account, and
    all existing GSLTs of all Steam User Accounts sharing the same
    phone number. We also mark this Steam User Account, and all
    existing Steam User Accounts sharing the same phone number, as
    ineligible to generate any more GSLTs. The phone number gets
    flagged to prevent any new Steam User Accounts from using it to
    generate more GSLTs. As of the most recent update, this Steam User
    Account and all existing Steam User Accounts sharing the same
    phone number will also get an in-game cooldown for a GSLT
    violation at the time of the GSLT ban.

    To answer some frequently asked questions among server operators:
    after the introduction of GSLTs, we no longer ban servers by IP
    addresses, we do not ban accounts based on shared computers, and
    we do not ban players for playing on servers that violate the
    guidelines. We have been monitoring tokens of servers operators
    complaining about their GSLT bans, and haven’t encountered a case
    yet where a GSLT ban was applied incorrectly.
