-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Agreed. It should not be a requirement that a server admin running mods must check to see if his server is still listed. I do acknowledge that there may be reasons for Valve to limit the player count to 24 (in reality I like the decision).
However, I run an admin mod on my server and I don't want it being removed without any notification. The lack of a heads-up is what many are unhappy about and justifiably so. Valve supports running mods on their servers They release an SDK for explicitly this purpose. Actions that delist servers running particular mods should be announced.
