Well said - I think this does need to be addressed by Valve otherwise everything is just speculation / assumption.
Personally, I think the plugin may have glitched or along those lines and the required tag (increased_maxplayers) was not automatically added when the slots increased; this is if we're reading the reason to the letter "server not reporting required tags"; which if you did have the increased_maxplayers, then you did report the required tags. I guess if that's a problem, then so will changing any server tag mid-game. I hope that nobody else does get blacklisted, without any clear confirmation for whether it is or is not permitted. > Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2013 17:20:15 -0500 > From: 1nsane...@gmail.com > To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com > Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Reminder about server tags > > Loophole?
