Re: [hlds] TF2 Quickplay Changes - How to tell if your server is Quickplay-banned?
Also, assuming your mods set their tags correctly (e.g. changed maxplayers or respawn rates, etc) the server would simply have been disqualified from the quickplay pool until the tags were removed. Presumably, actual bans from quickplay are reserved for those that try to game the system. Bjorn.

Sorry if I'm not using this mailing list right, this is my first time actually sending a message, ever. Several months ago the TF2 Quickplay rules were updated, some of them quite drastically. The changes server-side mods can make were severely restricted, and mods like VSH and PropHunt are right out. Our community's TF2 server has been offline since before this happened, and recently we've revived it. It used to be a "fun" server, running stuff most decidedly not suitable for Quickplay now, and we used to turn it all off to run in "stock" mode and attract Quickplay players when we wanted to play actual TF2. That is no longer possible given the new rules, and so the server has been switched to stock TF2 to make use of Quickplay . However, it was revived from an existing install, and I'm worried that the brief moment in time that it came online with Quickplay activated and all the mods still installed may have blacklisted it forevermore. To that end, I would like to know; how can you tell if your server has been banned/blacklisted/whatever from TF2 Quickplay? ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds
Re: [hlds] TF2 Quickplay Changes - How to tell if your server is Quickplay-banned?
It will say in sv_registration_message. But quickplay doesn't matter for non-official servers anymore. The amount of players you get from it is negligible now because most players pick the path of least clicks and community servers get a fraction of the screen space and convenience that official servers do. Valve probably knows this. There have been more servers that don't belong on quickplay such as randomizer that aren't getting removed. I have no doubt that they have been reported, but since so few people use it anymore they probably ignore them now. Community servers have been segregated into their own ghetto so Valve doesn't have to worry about policing them anymore. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds
