Forgive me for sounding naive, but how do you know your server is highly ranked? Last I checked you could only check server standing and the rank trend (up or down). I also understand that the ranks are "scores" and scores are comparative not absolute, so you'd personally need to know the posit

Unless VALVe runs a ranked service provider program, they will not be able to ban this stuff. It's too time consuming to check and ban/delist these servers. On 7/14/2012 8:59 PM, Cameron Munroe wrote: Eventually people will learn and just blacklist your server. The biggest thing is that valve

How else are you meant to compete other than give people something different to try. The people that have been attracted in through quickplay have become regular players and enjoy it. They would never have got a chance otherwise with the 500 saigns.de servers covering the list. Nobody i've seen

Eventually people will learn and just blacklist your server. The biggest thing is that valve will eventually realize that players are just leaving before 15 minutes and throw your server into the deep hole that you will never come out of, but yes I do understand where you are coming from. Val

Hey all, I don't often post here, but this time I felt it was important. I help managed some TF2 servers, but I notice that as of late Quickplay has become less reliable. It disconnects more often, and sometimes even requires a server reboot to fix. More importantly, since the most recent updates
