These are multiple issues. Please don't try to wrap it into one. The problem in particular with the ranking system, if you trick a few newbies into thinking they are playing with 23 other people for five minutes, there's no negative impact on their server's score. Valve knows who is running these plugins and isn't doing anything about it. They are just playing ignorant on the matter, at least, until something happens that forces them to address it.
Please grow up and stop calling it "crying" for wanting Valve to take action for a clean community. I'm just expressing concerns. This isn't Halo.
