I don't agree with that. When someone post a problem, first come advices from maybe not too much expert people, when the problem persists, more educated and knowledged people start to write and maybe they find what causes the problem, but they can't solve it, than experts. If expert can't

I've stayed quiet on this one but seriously i'm sick of the spam. If you want to whine about Valve go create your own mail list and feel free to do it all you want. I know that many of you have been hosting servers for a long time, I also know many of you haven't im also assuming some people

Legitimate complaints != Spam. Our concerns aren't being addressed. Like I've said before, I just want answers. I'm not telling Valve they suck - just the opposite. I've said many times they're the best in this space. But being the best means being accountable. I'm just asking them to give

Posting 40, 50, and 60 page threads with COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE FOR WEEKS is spam though, Karl. We get it, you have your panties in a wad. EVERYONE gets it. I really think you have mistaken this mailing list as some sort of support or complaint forum. IT'S NOT! This mailing list is for

Before you make your post on a subject, please read what was posted and not just assume you read it all. There was never anyone screaming about a boycott or alike. It sounds like your rant is more about other peoples issues then the one that this topic was about. Kingsley Foreman wrote: I've

So basically you equivocate Valve's response with a 5 year year old child taking his ball and going home. I agree completely. Kingsley Foreman wrote: I've stayed quiet on this one but seriously i'm sick of the spam. If you want to whine about Valve go create your own mail list and feel free

You aren't the one who needs to get it. And no, I don't think I've mistaken anything. This is the dedicated server mailing list. It's owned by Valve. Nowhere is it stated that this is not to be used for support or complaints. Did you make that up? -Original Message- From:

Understood, Kingsley. And the people suffering from this bug aren't asking for help at this point. We're BEGGING for it. We want to know when this problem will be fixed as it is a major problem that's causing us grief (and a lot more work) - and this is the most reasonable place for this

Useless hyperbole. You know what they say - you're either part of the solution or part of the problem. You've clearly shown what side you're on. I'm not asking anyone to abide by my vision. You, on the other hand, are trying to cheerlead people into abiding by yours. Good luck with that.
