If you're making a server DON'T use a reserved slot system that limits the playercount to 16/17 or something like that. Just have it 16/16 and someone gets kicked when an admin joins. It's so frustrating to try to get a slot on so many pubs because they will have 1 slot open almost permanently but it's for admins only, so you have to manually refresh, instead of letting the Steam auto-retry until a slot opens thing work.

In case you are wondering about the parentheses, you people speak American. I can tell by the proliferation of Zs and refusal to use the letter U.

NS only.
No stupid minrates, I saw a server with minimal 10000 50/50 GG for 56k or 64k. (cant remember it btw)
