* Valve *MAY* associate negative reputation data (bans, blacklists, records of
abuse or cheating, etc) not just to the game server account, but also to the IP
address or owning steam account. (*Not* just a specific IP
ort combination!)
We understand that not everyone has control over all the ports on their IP.
Hopefully the reasons why these sorts of policies are necessary are obvious.
Bottom line: protect the reputation of any servers running on your IP.
* We will be watching for servers who are exploiting the gift and drop system,
and reserve the right to take action against the account, game server, IP, and
steam account that owns the game server. We are not going to provide an exact
definition of exactly what is OK and what is not. However, here are two
examples of abusive activity: 1.) Giving certain plays on your server special
powers or preferential treatment with regard to gifts. 2.) Using automated
methods to collect gifts into lots of free accounts, causing them to be
devalued in the TF economy.
