Well I guess a question that many would like to know is how this report feature works? Does it pull from clients and the data that clients yanked from the servers upon entering? Does it check for Server data at that very instant with information in regards to tags, variables, IP# and ports, users online at time of install.. etc etc. I've see so many on both sides complaining how this feature is either not helping them or hurting them but how does it work exactly. Can someone at Valve post an example of the format of text or image that it posts to them for review and then who reviews these as in a jury panel or just one single developer/police man of the TF2 universe.
