You know, working my brain more I bet what I saw is partly due to use of the sourcemod plugin "TF2 Fast Respawn" or similar ones.
Since that plugin leaves the mp_respawnwavetimes cvar alone, you will not get the respawntimes sv_tag set. More importantly, even if you manually force it with sv_tag "respawntimes", the tag will get yanked out when the config is loaded. I remember now that to get quickplay to leave my server alone I had to set the tf_server_identity_disable_quickplay 1 cvar. Even just adding the sv_tag "noquickplay" wasn't enough, as it would also be overwritten without actually setting the cvar. I believe I recall Fletch or someone making a comment about this on the list earlier. Im not trying to excuse them, but maybe some of these servers that quickplay is hitting aren't so much malicious as simply uninformed. They set the sv_tags and just run with it. I know it took me a bit to figure out. -Andrew On Tue, Feb 28, 2012 at 2:02 PM, Thorsten Knoll <thorsten_kn...@yahoo.de> wrote: > As i understood fletchers post from the 04.01.12 (policy of truth) there´s a > difference between getting a quickplay-penalty (automated) or getting banned > from the master-list for a month (hand-selected). could this be the "bug in > the system" you mentioned. > > - thorsten > > Am 28.02.2012 20:22, schrieb ics: > >> Quickplay by default should not give you any servers that have these >> settings mentioned altered.
