It's failrly easy. If you enable that plugin that breaks the rules, you
disable quickplay traffic with cvar tf_server_identity_disable_quickplay
1. In that case, you do not break the rules.
How can you expect Valve to save you if the plugin creators are ignorant
of their rules. What you are asking for isn't going to happen. You need
to be self-aware about these things and set the tags yourself if you use
these plugins that do not set the appropriate tags.

The point is - that's impossible to do fairly. We DO run that plugin,
but on the maps where it is disabled (i.e. "sm_respawn_time_enabled
"0") that plugin is technically still RUNNING, but since fast respawn
is disabled, the sv_tag is not set.
See my point - you can't just poll a bunch of servers running a plugin
and ban them outright, as the plugin may be running but disabled for
that particular map (which would therefore not require the
"respawntimes" tag to be set).
Actually, this whole argument would be a moot point if Valve could
just implement settings in the engine itself that allows us the same
functionality of the fast respawn plugins, and automatically sets the
proper tag if/when they are modified (I think this would be the
optimal solution). That way - server operators that want/need fast
respawn times on certain maps/servers could transition away from using
plugins all together, and Valve could implement allow a couple of
months for server operators to change their servers over to the new
system, after which fast respawn plugins could be outlawed all
together ;-)

I think that these plugins that Todd posted are really breaking
the rules of quickplay and the owners should be punished
accordingly. They might not do it willingly, might have just
grabbed a plugin and now know about the rules of quickplay. Then
again, if they registered their servers to receive traffic, they
will know about the rules too. So, there should be made a check
which of these servers that use these 2 plugins are using it as
is, without setting the tag. Those plugins do not set the tag and
they have been disproved for it.
