Wanted to clarify a few things about the new feature in the in-game abuse reporting tool to report game servers:
* Human judgment is always used before any action is taken based on abuse report data. * The potential for malicious players (or competing game server operators) to abuse the reporting mechanism is an obvious problem that we have foreseen and taken basic measures to prevent. * We only really care about servers who receive excessive reports of abuse relative to other gameservers. This is pretty effective at canceling our the "noise" of uninformed or malicious users. One last reminder: we are keeping the option open to apply any bans, etc to an *IP*, not just to a game account. This is a warning to anybody setting up a "throw-away" server account created specifically to do malicious things. - Fletch _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
