Hello FSE,

I really enjoy playing on your servers, so just wondering if there were any concerns that your minimum player count display settings have caused the servers to be aggregated into this blacklist:
http://tf2stats.net/fake_players/

(link was in a steam forum thread)

btw, I understand the flip side is people who filter by non-empty servers might not pull up the server when it's empty and so on. Tough call.

You can also type in there any SourceOp servers who promote the site and none of their servers mention fake player counts as well. I'll let the players decide to blacklist us.
Also any server thats uses 32 players got blacklisted so we would have made that list anyways.

Wow about 25% of all TF2 servers use fake players
636/2500 = 25%
so using this blacklist probably will cutout most of the people playing.
So I believe it is self defeating.

Thanks for responding! I was just worried there when payload and other servers (except lazytown...) were oddly empty last week. Things seem to have returned to normal now.

Yeah they were empty because new games came on, including Star Trek Online and Mass Effect 2.
