Excellent points that I actually didn't even consider. I'll say it again, if Valve *really* doesn't want servers doing this than they need not do more than simply say so. I know some server owners would perhaps tempt fate but it would have taken us all of 2 minutes to remove the plugins from the servers. There just isn't much to go off of here and flat out delisting servers without communicating these things very well just doesn't feel right to me, so I'm still standing by my thoughts that this is a mistake on their part. Either way it winds up going, I'll be sure to provide the answer here if Valve only responds to me privately. I think other server owners should know the reason so that they don't risk being delisted.
