And apparently, that wasn't even a tweet done by someone on the TF2 team. Plus, there's TFClassic's response in trying to get the mod back up and they were unable to get anyone at Valve to respond to them after getting a random request-to-takedown that further confirms they're mostly just ignoring the game and probably it's community outside of workshop submissions.

I'm a bit confused by what the article is claiming. Is it trying to say that the #saveTF2 tag is somehow responsible for getting thousands of bots banned due to increase player awareness or something? Because it feels more like to me that the cheaters got bored and started dwindling in numbers on their own, not because of an increase in reports and moderation.

I queued up the last couple of weeks and pre-Scream Fortress, you would get maybe one or two bots every 8 - 10 minutes. During Scream Fortress. there's been a consistent bot playing Michael Jackson songs every 5 - 7 minutes.

Teen Titans Go?

The date for this match is actually the 29th, not tonight.

we are looking at very different threads if you think this thread is me vs. a group of people trying to have a real discussion. at most, it's three people with everyone else being just as smartass-y, memeing, or shitposting.

you might not think so, but obviously some heads in charge of ban appeals thought so considering they lifted a permaban-- something that isn't all that easy to convince RGL admins to do to begin with.

at a point you have to accept that not all the behind-the-scenes details are being told to you, and you'll probably never get them. the number one story here being told is "rgl match comms", because almost no one here interacts with hubida since he's kept to himself for a year and it's the only story people have right now. so the idea that he should be booted out via mob vote over an admin vote because he's a "danger" to a community he doesn't interact with is literal fearmongering.

believing in "no forgiveness" and perma-banning anyone you dislike is how you kill communities and create circlejerks. there are a crazy number of TF2 players who have been redeemed and welcomed back despite their language or past toxicity, quite a few of them in this very thread.

point out where i said this.

it's possible to not care about posts on a message board that still uses an upvote system and care about LANs and donating to prize pools, even if you think it's not.

somehow i don't think my boss is going to care if dafartknocker69 from TFTV e-mailed them a link of this thread and RGL match comms.

only if you pay my $300 processing fee
